Gifted Deposit Vs Genuine Bargain Price

DaffyDuck316

Hi everyone,

It was suggested I post on here as there are some brokers on this board.

There is trouble that I am having where my solicitor wants me to use a Genuine Bargain Price Application, but my broker is adamant that I should use a Gifted Deposit application. And this has been going on for two months with neither side willing to back down.

I could post more information here, but it probably makes sense to post a link so you can read all the information/comments (please note I was a bit vague in my initial posts as I wasn't fully aware of the situation)

Only if you are interested or wanting to help of course.

This is the link:

Thank you for your time.

Are they gifting you the deposit or are they selling it you for less than its true value? 
I would be inclined to side with the solicitor here in that they are giving you a discount rather than giving you the deposit. 

But I have not read the whole thread, just skimmed the first page.

If you jump to the end I think Kingstreet made a good summary post.

My view is that anything he says is true. His knowledge is superhuman!
