We did the same with my DS first house. His partner kept everything, but we walked away from the money as there were GC and we felt it the home was for them. It was a substantial loss for us. What we did not know at the time was that she had found someone new. Not just her and the children, but a complete stranger benefited. Lesson learned, we helped him buy a new property and took a second charge over it rather than declare it as a gift.
