    Do i need to formally engage a solicitor to draw up a contract on this loan if lending from my parents? Or can i draw one up myself and we both sign?

    If the latter what needs to be put on it? The lending amount, interest, how many years, repayment approach?

    Personally I wouldnt....What are the terms, security and also how is te loan settled. ie Date of agreement is 4th April but funds lent on 10March. Then who maintains the accounting for what is due and how much is interest ?No accounting and no repayments = a tainted loan.

    Saving $$$ will cost you $$$
