THE BANK OF MUM AND DAD -
HELPING YOUR CLIENTS KNOW THE RULES
It's now quite common for young people, and particularly first time buyers, to receive a contribution from parents or other family members to help with a property purchase. The Bank of Mum and Dad is now one of the UK's biggest mortgage lenders but how does it really work?
As the Bank of Mum and Dad continues to play a pivotal role in helping first time buyers, it's essential that families know the rules for both their own financial protection and peace of mind.
Following the research we carried out earlier this year with the London School of Economics, and the launch of our definitive guide 'How to run the Bank of Mum and Dad', we have produced three new Bank of Mum and Dad guides that can help families through
every stage of the lending journey.
Preparation and planning
Our new guides, which you can share with your clients, can help families understand the financial and legal implications of their financial support and how they can best approach the often difficult conversation of financial assistance with their loved ones.
