I would have thought this would not apply as i'm not getting a mortgage on that property just a mortgage on my own house then buying my mums later?0 -

How do you work that one out ? She is helping her mum out of a financial pickle and giving her a lump sum as well. No doubt mum would be leaving it to her daughter anyway - so it's good mum gets some money now - win win. I intend to gift my sons £100's K in the next few years so they have it now ( reverse situation )
OP - £1000 seems a bit steep but as others have said CCJ and zero hours could be the reason. Were they particularly interested in what you intended to spend the money on ( ie mum's house ?)Stuck on the carousel in Disneyland's Fantasyland
