    Yep, there's real stench of a stroke being pulled here. Why lose your first time buyer's status and risk your own financial future over someone else's problem? Why can't she upskill if she is of a mind to buy a house but is a bit short? Why can't she wait another year for this sum of money and save in the meantime? Does this lump sum even exist?

    Out of interest. How long have you known this person?

    It's all seems very scam like.

    As they say on Dragons Den, 'sorry but it's a no from me on this one.'

    despite the fact that it would probably be OK, there's literally no upside to this for you that I can see, other than humouring your friend.

    as everyone has pointed out, you'll be liable for anything that goes wrong, and if she gets sick/pregnant/whatever, then a "well she's looking after the repayments" won't cut it at all.

    plus you lose your first-time buyer's status (assuming you still have it), so this plan will cost you financially down the line.



    how/why are the parents going to receive money in a year? you say they have properties already, so let them re-mortgage or sell them or whatever if they want to raise capital now to give to her.
