Wanting to move home

Hi,
my partner and I have saw a property we would like to move to, we currently have a mortgage with Northern Rock, we took out a 100% mortgage of 100k in 2007 (100k house value) the property we've seen is 129k, I think we may be in negative equity now as the average estimate house value price we've had is 90k (probably be less) we also have a DMP. We wouldn't have a lot of money to put down as a deposit.

Info on this would be great as we're not quite sure how these things work or even if we could do it! :)

  • Not a hope in hell is the only possible answer (and that's "as nice" as it gets I'm afraid) !

    You have no chance of moving I'm afraid. If you had perfect credit you'd need 13k deposit as a minimum, plus fees, plus over 10k to pay off your negative equity. The DMP just makes things more impossible I'm afraid. You need to put off plans to move to a more expensive place as it just isn't realistic at all.
