As the title says. If you're able, how much do you plan to give your children to help them buy a house when the time comes?

I'm in the SE so really you need £50k min. I think. Trying to plan ahead.

DSs each inherited £100,000 from an uncle. We gave them the same amount to help with house purchase/renovations. We have just arranged to pay off DS2’s mortgage, £37,000 and will make similar provision for DS1.
Better that they have this while we are alive rather than taxman grab it. Yes I know about deprivation of assets and the need to live for 7 years.

Goodness me. £200k would more than clear my mortgage and I only bought my house last year! 😮
