    Thanks king hins

    I've gone through a broker so already done this, was just wondering if they would then ask to see evidence from my gifter of where the funds came from. I like to be prepared!
    My solicitor organised this evidence and then will send it to the lender. They contact the person gifting the deposit for them to provide ID and source of funds, E.g. Bank statements

    My solicitor has only asked for the ID and proof of address, they haven't asked to see the source of funds

    Did they request this from the person gifting directly?

    We provided the solicitor with ID and proof of address and then the solicitor sent a letter to our gifter, rather than us, to ask for proof of funds

    Nope. They've not sent anything to my dad, it didn't state in the pack either under gifted deposit section that they would require it

    Anyone using a gifted deposit? If so what evidence did they ask for! Want to make sure I have everything together if the underwriter asks for it
    We are using a gifted deposit. We used a broker and prior to putting the mortgage application in they had our gifters complete Leeds gifted deposit letter from their website. We also had to provide a bank statement showing the funds in our gifters bank account. Leeds didn't need anything else apart from this (our mortgage got approved last week).

    Hmm strange leeds haven't asked us for the gifters proof of funds
  • They didn’t ask us for it either but the solicitor did...
