Both my nan and grandad have recently passed away. The house is now my mum's and her 2 brothers. Me and my partner want to buy the house at the market value. My mum wants to gift us £25,0001 of the house equity and part of her share to cover our deposit to buy the house.
Is this possible? Or do we have to have the cash deposit available before hand?
