DP being gifted £300k as FTB

[Raraoh]

In a fairly new relationship (1 year) and DP early 30s is house hunting and wants my input. Just found out his budget - he is a FTB, London-based with a 300k deposit. Genuinely gobsmacked.

Sorry posted too soon. Needed to discuss really as don’t feel able to share with people irl

That’s nice.

X post.

What do you want to discuss? Are you buying jointly?

Not buying jointly no

What are you gobsmacked about?

What's your AIBU?

What’s FTB? Anyway, it’s just money. What’s he like as a person and a partner?

What is your issue?

Hope he’s got a good paper trail for a deposit that size.

And?

All I can say is, lucky him. He's being given a deposit which is more than my house is worth!!

First time buyer Mimi.

What’s FTB?

^

How lovely. Or something.

First time buyer, is this like a kind of braggy thread then or what?, I don't get it lol

Smashing.

He’s a great partner and a good person. I’ve also never bought property so I guess also wanted to input on things like what to look for and where to buy? I’ll be helping

Don’t understand the vitriol - it’s not my money. And I won’t have a claim to it really. He’s a humble person from normal circumstances. I just wanted to discuss

Who gifted it to him?

First Time Buyer

And, what is the problem? He is buying himself a house with a humongous deposit. You aren't a solid couple yet but he is excited enough to ask for your input.

So, erm, enjoy his house hunting. It sounds like fun!

I don't understand what you want to discuss.

You want us to help you, help a bloke spend his family’s money on a house? For himself?

Can’t he manage himself if he’s deemed competent to give that much money to?

What’s the AIBU?

Lucky DP.

Discuss what though?
