    Yeah, I've discovered using moneysupermarket that if I lend more but are able to put down a 85% deposit then the monthly rates are better than just using a 90% deposit on a cheaper house.

    The thing is I cannot save a further 5% as I need to move out in July from my parents and renting will just eat away any savings

    The only way I can see it working is if the house seller could agree to do a 5% towards deposit or 5% cashback after completion.

    But how is this arranged? through solicitor or the mortgage company?

    Why would renting eat away at your savings any more than the interest part of a mortgage would?

    would the mortgage company need to know about this?

    Yes they would.
