Hello,

Me and my partner have started our house savings and will hopefully saved enough by October 2015 for a deposit.

However the first £3k saved was from an online bet my partner has won. Will this affect us?

TIA

    Unlikely. Chances are most you'll be asked for is three months proof of deposit.

    We sent a lender a photograph of our client with his lottery cheque as proof of deposit.
