Help with the sums/feasibility, please!

Property - £365k

Mortgage required at 80% LTV - £292k

Joint earnings - £100kpa

Type of mortgage - repayment

The question relates to an available repayment level of £2.5k per month... or so I am informed.

Can any apply their grey cells to this one and advise me whether it is feasible at current interest rates and which type of product might suit best?

    You have £2500pm to fund some debt.

    Stick it in a calculator
    http://www.whatsthecost.com/mortgage.aspx
    set to interest only and put in pay per month box £2500

    put £292000 in the top box
    put 100 in the years box(does not matter).
    set the interest rate to something sensible between 0%-10% will do typicaly rates are more 2.5%-5% so 5% is a good starting point

    Press calculate it will tell you long the loan will take to pay off.

    eg : £292k, 5%, 100y, 2500pm paid off in 161 months so around 13.5 years
