Gifted Deposit Non Blood Relative is a term used in the UK to refer to a financial contribution given to a homebuyer as a deposit for a property purchase, by someone who is not a blood relative of the buyer. This can be a friend, partner or employer, for example. The gifted deposit must be supported by a letter from the donor, confirming that the money is a gift and not a loan. Gifted deposits can be used as a way to help buyers who may be struggling to save for a deposit, but it’s important to ensure that all parties involved understand the legal implications of this type of transaction.
