If you’re buying a home in Cardiff, using a gifted deposit could be a good option.
This is when a family member gives you money to put towards your deposit, and they confirm that you don’t need to pay it back.
For example, if you’re buying a £180,000 home, your parents might gift you £9,000 to cover the deposit. Lenders will usually accept this, as long as the funds are properly declared.
A mortgage advisor in Cardiff, can help arrange the right documents and find a lender who offers gifted deposit mortgages in Cardiff.
Lenders in Cardiff typically allow gifted deposits from someone with a close family or household connection, this often includes:
The gift mustn’t be expected to be repaid.
Our mortgage advisor in Cardiff can guide you through what your lender requires and help you submit the right documents.
A gifted deposit won’t affect your chances of getting a mortgage in Cardiff, but it can add a few extra steps to the process.
Lenders need to confirm that the money is a gift and not a loan.
This involves submitting a signed declaration and evidence of where the funds have come from.
With expert mortgage advice in Cardiff, this can be organised quickly and won’t hold up your application.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.

Matt has been brilliant throughout the whole process, very knowledgeable and helpful. The process has been smooth throughout. The application was submitted on Wednesday and the mortgage offer was approved by Friday! Talk about that for service.
