My fiance and I would like to buy a house in the UK. She is from Brazil and I am a UK citizen. Can she send her money over to the UK to put it towards the deposit on a house? The mortgage will just be in my name as she is currently working in Brazil and not a UK tax payer.

More problems than you can shake a stick at with this one.
I am sorry to be repetitive - but you will need a broker's help to be successful with this (and may be difficult/impossible even then).Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Thanks for the reply. What if the money was put into my parents account who are also helping out and simply added to there money as a 'gift'?
Also, if we were married would this not change things?0
