I'm currently in the final stages of buying my first property, £160k from Nationwide and a £20k deposit. 4 months ago when I was applying for the mortgage with my broker the plan was to sell a car to make up the £20k so we put it down as savings, I would now like to use a non repayable gift for the deposit. Are Nationwide going to tell me to bugger off because I've changed the terms?

My broker isn't the best in the world and I'm expecting a call from the solicitors on Tuesday so I figured that I would gather an opinion from here as to whether it's all about to fall apart around me or not.

That's great thank you, you've all put my mind to rest. Yes, the reason for me asking is that one of the forms that I have left to send to the solicitors asks for proof of the origins of the deposit if ' The account doesn't show a gradual accumulation of savings', mine just shows a £20k deposit from a personal account a few days ago thumbup
