How to provide a breakdown of your funds in the app

If you have been requested to provide a breakdown of say £500,000. You'll need to provide a breakdown that makes up that amount. For example:

  • co-buyer funds: £100,000

  • gifts: £150,000

  • savings: £250,000

Follow these steps to add and verify your funds:

  • Tap Verify funds to begin.

  • Tap ➕ Add funds.

  • Select the type of fund (e.g. Gift).

  • Enter the amount (for example, £50,000).

  • Verify the fund by either:
     • Connecting to your bank, or
     • Uploading a supporting document.

Repeat these steps until you’ve added and verified the full amount you need to account for.


If all the funds are coming from someone else

If your partner, friend, or relative is providing all the funds, simply add them as Co-buyer from the funds list and enter the amount they are putting towards the transaction.


If your mortgage is still in process

You can upload early documents while waiting for your final offer, such as:

  • Agreement in Principle (AIP) or Decision in Principle (DIP)

  • Mortgage Illustration (KFI)

  • Acknowledgement or email from lender/broker

  • Conditional Offer or Valuation Report

Once approved, upload your final mortgage offer as proof.


Proving funds from a property sale

If your money is coming from a property sale, upload:

  • Bank statement or solicitor’s letter confirming sale funds

  • Signed Sale Agreement or Memorandum of Sale

  • Exchange of contracts or Completion statement (if available)


If your source of funds isn’t listed

If your fund type is not in the list, please select Other from the fund list and enter the amount. Make sure to upload supporting documents.
