    == Edit: the below is untrue ==

    In the UK you have to state where the money came from, so there’s only a limited amount your family can help.

    Can’t threaten the landlords!

      What? There is no limit on the size of funds that can be gifted to help buy a house in the UK. If your family wants to bung you £500k of their own money there’s nothing stopping them.

      The requirement to demonstrate proof of funds for that money is to prevent money laundering.
