tyres Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 more petrol to fuel forever HPI Quote Nationwide has revealed a new mortgage designed to help family members buy a home - including both parents helping first-time buyer children or families helping their older members downsize. Nationwide is offering parents the option of borrowing against their own home to raise money to 'gift' to children for a deposit on their first property. The new family deposit mortgage allows any family member to take a mortgage up to 80 per cent of the value of their home, the proceeds of which is then given to and used by another family member as a deposit on their own purchase. What is the Nationwide family mortgage? Read more here .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 So not actually 'raising money', but instead going further into debt. And then giving the money you just borrowed to your children so that they can go massively into debt as well when they buy a vastly overpriced house. Wonderful.

MrPeregrination Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Surely there are tax ramifications for this? I thought you can only be gifted so much before you have to pay tax on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It's a case of do anything but face the fact cheaper housing which young people can actually afford using their earnings would be a better idea. Low interest rates, help to buy, 30 and 40 year mortgages, BOMAD and now BOGAG... It's not so much that they keep moving the goalposts, more a case that they keep putting more and more footballs on the pitch to ensure the scoring never stops. No wonder we can't call a house price crash anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's a bank isn't it. All they want to do is profit off more debt. Oh, hang on, isn't Nationwide a building society. One of those historic institutions that were used to build houses for people that prudently saved their money. Be ashamed Nationwide - be very ashamed.

Yep, and reading through the lines the last fools are giving up buying, high house prices etc, I know I've given up. And that means one thing over the next few years, finally hpc (in BTL anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Ram Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This is probably the closest I've seen TPTB come to admitting how the housing bubble has to play out: almost nobody gets to cash out their fantasy valuations and the more dimwitted get stripped of their equity as a combination of nominal price stability and sterling debasement turn decades of house price outperformance into decades of house price underperformance.
