The 24-year-old from Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, broke the news to his father Richard while recording a TikTok video.

In the clip, Jamie walks into Richard's bedroom, hands him the keys to the house, and says, "I've just paid off the mortgage."

"I just rang the bank and paid off every penny of your mortgage, and now you own the whole house," the 24-year-old continues.

His father looks at him in disbelief, muttering over and over, "No."

Jamie replies, "You've worked all your life, and now you can get the retirement you deserve." In the next clip, his dad is wiping his eyes. When Jamie asks what's wrong, Richard replies:

"You're the best son in the world anyone could have."
