Practical legal advice and support in London and the South East


The Bank of Mum and Dad has, of course, always existed. Many of today’s Mums and Dads were helped by their own parents to get their educational qualifications, their first car and a first home. It’s what families do.
 

However, the last 20 years has seen a perfect financial storm brewing for the next generation. The cost of further education, entertainment, transport and, in particular, accommodation and property has increased to a whole new level, creating ‘Generation Rent’ who are finding that their finances are squeezed and they are turning to their parents in ever increasing numbers.

The Bank of Mum and Dad – A Legal Guide

To help parents who have become the Bank of Mum and Dad or those who are planning to buy a first home with financial help from the family, Wellers and The Family Building Society have prepared this valuable guide on the legal issues you could face.

Minimising the risk

If you have become the latest branch of the Bank of Mum and Dad then you may be considering, or are likely to consider, ways to help your children get on or climb the property ladder. As we know, there are many areas of the country where this is a very expensive commitment, so it is vital that legal advice is sought before any action is undertaken. Furthermore, it is important to ensure that any assistance you give does not expose you or your family to any unnecessary risks or issues that may threaten your own financial security.

Our specialist team is dedicated to answering any practical, legal and taxation questions (and those your children may have) as you help the next generation of your family progress in life.
