Gifted deposit mortgage

I've been told by my broker today that the Halifax is accepting a 5% vendor/builder gifted deposit and you pay the other 5% to make up your 10% deposit. I'm not going for it but thought this may be useful for someone out there.
I am a debt free wannabe. Aiming to be debt free by Xmas 2015.

The 5% given by the Builder will normally be knocked off the property valuation though, not good news if LTV is an issue0
