We will pay to your family member contributing to your deposit an amount equal to up to 5% interest for 5 years calculated on the amount of their deposit contribution up to a maximum of a 10% deposit on the price of your new home. If the family member contributes more than a 10% deposit, then the excess above 10% will not count towards the offer. The amount payable to your family member is only payable when you complete on your purchase of a new home from us.
We must receive evidence satisfactory to us that your family member has paid the deposit contribution used for the purchase of your new home and the amount that they have paid (e.g. evidence from your solicitor, bank statements, etc). Your family member must also provide us with satisfactory evidence of their identity, address and bank details and their relationship with you so that we can comply with identity and anti-money laundering checks, verify their relationship to you and eligibility for the offer and pay the relevant amount to them when you complete on your new home purchase from us.
The offer only applies to your first degree relatives or second degree relatives or to the first degree relatives or second degree relatives of your spouse. The offer only applies to one family member contributing to the deposit in relation to your purchase of a new home from us, and not multiple contributors.
Your family member can choose to give the deposit contribution as a gift so it doesn't need to be returned if you sell your new home purchased from us or you can make arrangements to return the deposit contribution to them in the future.
The amount is paid to your family member on completion by either a cheque or bank transfer as a lump sum. It is not payable to you. The amount payable to your family member may be subject to tax and it is their responsibility to declare and pay any tax.
