  • Baz I assume from the way you are talking you are going to borrow the money on the second property? You could do that or mortgage your existing home and buy the second one "cash" with the money which would have obvious advantages as a buyer.

    If you meant what type of deal, then you want something with no tie in period if you want to repay the loan quickly, most variable rates are low at present, so just look for low fees and no ties.

  • thanks littlelawyer
  • which would benefit me best a repayment or interest only
  • In your situation (i.e planning to repay it very quickly with proceeds of sale) then interest only. Low monthly payments whilst you have the mortgage, but if you are going to have it long term then repayment would be a better suggestion.

    good luck LL:j
  • What's a full deposit?
