I think lending money to anyone is a terrible idea and should be avoided at all costs. Then I remebered I lent some one 40% 0f their deposit a couple of years ago, as suggested above I had to sign a declaration provided by their solicitor that it was a gift, wouldn't be repaid etc. and had to be witnessed by a notary which was the most annoying part of the process. It caused no problems but still generally advise against loaning money as its a fast way to change a friendship by introducing a power dynamic that wasn't there previously.
