If the customer is receiving a gift from a third party (not sellers/vendors) we confirm we are happy to proceed without a further request from you provided that the gift is unconditional, bears no interest, is not repayable and the giftor will have no interest in the property.

We accept second charges to protect the giftors interest provided we have a fully enforceable first legal charge (with a deed of postponement in place if applicable) and there are no repayments relating to the second charge. Again, no additional request is required from you in this instance. We confirm that no additional borrowing will be granted without prior consent from the second charge holder. Please kindly report any repayments.
