    Then save, save, save. A 100% mortgage is for mugs right now.
    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?

    If you can't save a deposit - how are you going to pay the extra cost of a high interest rate mortgage?

    You can't afford to buy the house. Chances are the LL won't be able to sell it (for the price he wants) so carry on renting for a while.

    Hi Pitsmoor, you're probably better off posting this on the Mortgages board.

    However, no, there are no 100% mortgages right now. At the moment you realistically need a deposit of 15-20% of the purchase price.

    You really only can save, and wait until you're in a better position with both a deposit and savings (for emergencies etc).

    Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear. :)

    The bankruptcy board if they go ahead now.
  • Halifax still offer up to 95% LTV, but with fairly high interest rates. If you want a decent interest rate it's a case of finding a 15% deposit.

    Nobody does 100%, and you really wouldn't want it anyway with house prices dropping.

    There are a couple of Government backed schemes (Homebuy) which help towards a deposit. But expect a lot of grief if you apply for them, they seem to be run by a tiny amount of staff who are struggling with thousands of enquires.

    You can find the 100% mortgages in Isle 7, right between the attractive lesbians and the honest politicians.

  • right now a 100% mortgage means negative equity the day after you buy it.

    Doom and gloom on here. It certainly does not. That all depends on what price you get the house for.

    But unfortunately there are no 100% products out there.

    What a crazy assumption.

    just because they dont have a deposit, it does not mean he couldn't afford a mortgage.

    When I qualified for my job, my pay went from £27000 up to £57000. I had no deposit as i couldn't save for one on a low wage, but I could afford the mortgage, as I bought when my circumstancess changed.
