    But the loan factor will be between me and my parents? Can i not give the money back to them as gift at later date?

    I doesn't matter who its with, if it has monthly payments, or any expectation to pay it back, its a loan.


    If you want to gift them a load of money some time in the future go right ahead, but if you're making monthly "gifts" back to them its a loan.


    It needs to be declared as a loan, and the monthly repayments need to be taken into account in your affordability assessment.

    I didn't have intentions to pay back monthly, maybe lump sum later on in life like 5-10 years(just a rough number)
