    Hi postie,
    100% mortgages are available and you'll find some best buys on the links [moneyfacts/moneynet etc] in the mortgage section of the site. 5-10% deposit gives you a much better rate though and I seriously doubt you'll find any lenders willing to go to 6x salary.
    The way forward might be to start working that overtime and save it for a deposit so you reduce the amount you need to borrow and at the same time increase you're proveabe earnings for when you come to apply. For example, if you increase your earnings by extra work to £20K and have a £5K deposit, the £85K you'll now need to borrow is only 4.25x your earnings - much more do-able IMO.

    HTH.

    As far as I'm aware there are no 100% lenders who will allow you to borrow so much on your salary.
