is a loan for the deposit normal practise or a expensive way to get the mortgage?
No mortgage company will accept a loan as a suitable deposit. So not going to happen.0 -
Hi
'Normal' was not needing a deposit.
I fully understand mortgage lenders asking for a deposit but I do not understand why they would make the unsecured loan themselves. Sure, borrow the unsecured loan from another bank but I don't see any difference between a 100% mortgage and one provider supplying an 80% mortgage together with a 20% unsecured loan (they are still lending 100%).
It's 100% mortgages by stealth.

Thanks GG
thats why i wondered if they were offering the loan to screw me for more money.
i guess a loan would be 8% ish at a guess.
the mortgage 6% ish.0 -
This might be a stupid question but here goes
as we own 30% of our house could i not take out a sucure loan on my property for the 35k (25% deposit)?
or
extend my mortgage to free up the money to use for the (25%)0
