Borrowing equity to help daughter buy

Have a mortgage with the Halifax (am currently overpaying) - got another 3 1/2 years to go on a fixed rate.

Are you able to borrow say, £10,000, to give to daughter to help her buy - she has saved £20,000 herself? Appreciate will have to go in and talk to Halifax but just wondered if anyone knows/done this pls.

TIA

    yes you can do this, subject to status.


    Halifax is most likely your best (but not your only) option.
