Your conveyancer will require:

  • A signed letter from the person gifting you the money, confirming the amount and stating whether it is repayable (and, if so, the repayment terms).

  • Certified photo identification and proof of address for the donor.

  • Evidence of the source of funds. For example, if the money is from wages or savings, you will need to provide three months’ worth of statements from the account(s) where the funds were accumulated.

If the gifted deposit has already been transferred to your account, all of the above documentation is still required.
