Sisters to share mortgage

Help!!

A house has recently become available for my daughters to purchase for about £160K. They have no deposit so the bank of mum and dad are going to remortgage to the sum of £32K (20%), leaving them to find the remaining £128K (80%).

How do they go about this?

Do they have to get a separate mortgage for £64K (40%) each? or do they have to get a joint mortgage?

Any help would be gratefully received.

  • Joint mortgage.

    And they need an exit plan, when one wants to leave to be with boyfriend/hubbie, at a time when the other one cannot afford to take it on, on their own...
    Act in haste, repent at leisure.
