Nationwide Mortgage

I am a first time buyer wanting to buy a property off my brother and hoping to get a mortgage with Nationwide (5 year fixed)

Value of the house is £210,000 but i will be purchasing the house for £80,000 (mortgage amount left) so do i declare the £130,000 as a gift ? No money will be changing hands, well besides the mortgage.

I currently have 2 jobs with a combined income of £26,500 however one job is paid in cash (all taxes paid and wage slips provided) will this make a difference ?

Appreciate any help

    Anything not straight forward, I'd always say get a broker involved.

    You need to use a broker on this case - a key issue is

    What will the property be used for once in your ownership - who will be living there?

    One of the brokers on here is in Manchester - is that West enough?

    should be ok could you tag him/her on to this post please ? If (a big IF) i was to go direct with nationwide would it not be straight forward ?

    I have all the documents ready including gift template, work contracts and all ID documentation, bank statements. I don't want to rush into it and get myself into a mess.

    Would it be gifted deposit or gifted equity ? Been reading a few threads on gifted deposits/equity think i might call my solicitor tomorrow and see what they say. I'd appreciate if anyone has any info on this.

    On the nationwide DIP it asks if i own any other mortgage free house - I do, it was given to me by my father about 8 years ago... what difference does it make ? would i still be classed as a first time buyer ? i've never had a mortgage on the house and the house im buying now will be my main residence
