Concessionary Purchase and Gifted Equity (Family)

We accept applications where the source of deposit is from gifted equity/a concessionary purchase. We’ll require at least 5% of the deposit (the lower of the full market value or the discounted purchase price) to come from the customer's own resources. The vendor must be a family relation to at least one of the customers. This includes:

  • parents (including step-parents and in-laws)
  • grandparents
  • aunts and uncles
  • siblings
  • children
  • civil partners

The vendor also must:

  • not be a dependent relative
  • not remain in the property after the sale
  • Conveyancer to provide proof of indemnity against insolvency of the two/five year period
