FTB (but technically a home owner) question..

First post on MSE!

I'm looking to apply for my first mortgage at some point this year.. Last year my mum transferred ownership of her house to me and my sister. I know that this now excludes me from the help to buy scheme but was wondering if this could help me at all to secure a mortgage?

    No. It won't make any difference.

  • I disagree, sell the house, split the money with your Sister and use that for the deposit......oh, wait, what to do with your Mother?

    Transfering houses to children is rarely a good idea and just increases the potential tax liabilities.
