Gift is not within the meaning of transfer u/s 47 of the IT Act, 1961. Hence, no income tax issues. Since, he is UK citizen, you need to check the compliance of FEMA, as the transaction involved is immovable property in India.

There is a general permission from RBI for acquisition of residential and commercial properties by NRIs. However, there is a restriction on NRIs to purchase agricultural land.
