If your parents are able to provide that much needed boost to your deposit fund, Lovell will reward them by giving them a return on their investment that beats most banks.
In fact if any member of your family, or a friend, has been generous enough to contribute to your deposit for your first new home, Lovell will make sure they receive the equivalent of 5% interest on the amount for five years - and they'll give it to them as soon as you move in.
With five exciting developments across Manchester, all offering the 'Give and Gain" scheme, buyers will be spoilt for choice.
Elaine Taylor, regional sales manager for Lovell, said: "This is a fantastic scheme for first time buyers and their families if they are able to help out.
"The maximum gifted deposit from a friend or family member (subject to lender's agreement) is 20% of the purchase price however, some lenders will accept a smaller deposit or you could supplement your deposit with savings of your own. You can speak to one of our recommended independent mortgage advisors who will be able to talk you through the range of mortgages available.
"For example, if you buy a two-bedroom Lovell home for £120,000 with a 20% Give and Gain deposit of £24,000 from your family member or friend, they would earn massive £6,000 "interest" on this."
With the potential for better mortgage interest rates and much lower monthly repayments that come with putting down a larger deposit, Lovell's Give and Gain scheme could help make a more affordable move possible.
