Securing the mortgage

Good evening, I have successfully got a agreement in principle this evening :D.

I am buying my step sisters flat, it's her and my Grandad on the deeds, it's currently mortgaged. My Grandmum is gifting the deposit who is not on the deeds. The property is not a discounted purchase.

Will Nationwide have any issues with the deposit, my Grandmum who is giving the deposit is not named on the deeds & as mentioned above its not a discounted purchase? Just thinking whether the solicitors / nationwide would have a problem?

Thank you.

  • It isn't a issue that the deposit has been gifted.

    Who will live in the house after the purchase / sale goes through?

    Depending on the answer, it could be a major problem.
