For BTL (non-Limited Company): Gifted deposits are acceptable from immediate family members (parents including step- parents, grandparents, other family member such as non-dependent child, brother, sister, uncle or aunt). A Donor Gift Deposit Declaration letter, ID and evidence of funds may be required. Where the donor is not a parent or grandparent, they must be a UK homeowner. For Limited Company applications: Deposits for Limited Company applications must be accrued from Directors personal funds or, in some cases, a Director loan is an acceptable source of deposit as it is not treated as a Gifted deposit. Gifted deposits are only acceptable from a Company Director. Gifted deposits from family members are not acceptable deposits. Where a deposit is received from another Limited Company, this can be acceptable, provided there is at least one common shareholding director. Where the structures are different, the deposit is only acceptable where the funds are made as a Directors loan rather than as a Gift.
