Mortgage on a gifted house

Long story short:-
I want to give half my house to my daughter. She will need to raise £80k for the other half so to speak. Credit checks and her income aside. My question is, are there lenders that that will be willing to lend in this situation?
I've searched all day but can't find anything on the internet specific to this question.
Thanks for looking and thanks in advance for any replys.

    Yes. It's called a concessionary purchase, or gifted equity.

    There are a number of lenders which accept such cases.

    SDLT is based on the actual amount concerned, the consideration not the true value.

    If it's a second property, CGT is based on the true market value.

    You will not be able to continue to reside in the property.

    You need to be careful here Woody.


    If you intend to stay in the property this can be accommodated but is tricky.

    OK Woody.

    You are best using a broker as the application is a little more involved than usual.

  • Yes it is possible. I'm going through the exact same procedure now - buying house from my parents.

    My broker called it a gifted equity mortgage.

    Valuer has been round this morning.

    Good luck.
