nationwide problems with deposit

Hi,
I am a FTB showing deposit from abroad and the bank cant accept it and asked for sources of that deposit so we provided proofs and sources by supporting bank statements and now they come back saying they cant even accept it as it is a non uk bank...showed them evidence of bank statement from a uk international bank account to abroad they dont want to consider any of that dont know what to do more than this... feel like getting a gift would be more easier than telling this people that its my savings abroad....really panicking dont know what to do more...should i withdraw my application if i do so will they refund me the amount that i paid for arrangement fees?? Go with another bank??? or tell them that someone is gifting me money??? nationwide is killing me...:(:(:(:(

    You'll need to evidence the source of the money. As it came from somewhere. In this technological age there's a paper audit trail available.
  • audit trail??? is it more than an official bank statement??? dont even know how does it look like??:(

    Even if you told a new bank/lender it was a gift, they would still require proof of where the money came from and you'd be back to square one, plus now it's worse as it's considered mortgage fraud.

    Perhaps you should speak with a broker and find out which banks would accept your deposit given the circumstances.

    I know a family member recently got a gift payment from their parents, they transfer the money to his account. (her parents savings and was ready to show bank statement proof)

    The bank ask them to fill in a gift donation form and that was it (they didnt ask for bank long list of evidence). How much is the deposit.

    I dont think you could have chosen a worse lender for this.

    I tend to find nationwide quite anal about deposits...(im not saying rightly or wrongly).

  • Can I drop my application and go with a different lender if so which bank should I choose?? As I am sure eventually they will decline our mortgage

    Money laundering regulations will need to be adhered to irrespective of the lender. As the solicitor is duty bound by these.
