    Well if they have a fairly good record I dont see why they couldn't get a high street deal

    And by the way - the shared owenership scheme that your friend applied for is not the same as the the OpenMarket Home Buy schemes

    The shared ownership schemes are predominantly Housing Association backed

    Cheshire do not do mortgages for the government backed schemes

    If the Government are using Cheshire to finance their schemes at this rate then the housing market is well and truly doomed:rotfl:

    And yes this person was trying to buy via a Housing Association, it was just a the lack of a deposit which is a sticking point, they were trying to borrow 100% of their share!!!!
