So you're looking to buy a place and hoping your parents might tip in? There are absolutely options and ways to structure that, which can be beneficial to you and not too much of a risk for your parents, but it really is important to involve them in the process early on. Quite often we see a child or children who come to buy a place and they're looking to get help from their parents, and they're really not bringing the parents on the journey early so that the parents can step through the options, understand the pros and cons of either gifting you some money, giving you some money on a short term loan, or even using an existing property via what's called a "family pledge product". So if you're planning to buy a property and you're looking to enlist your parents' help, make sure you get them involved early, make sure you're bringing a UNO broker who can help you sort of step through the options and what the pros and cons of each are.
