Borrowing helppppppp pls

We have been with Santander for 2 years
We want to sell our home
Repay the bank
Port over our existing morg to the new property (they say we can do)
We earn 80k
Equity - hopefully 90k

Santander said they can lend us up to 415k!
We only want 330k

If our equity falls to 80k will this affect how much we can borrow - we just want to ensure we can borrow 330k

The other question is should we hold on to our 10k savings and put this towards our deposit making it up to 90k or pay off the morg with it or is it as long as it is short?

    Why have you got 2 seperate posts?

    Interest only without repayment vehicle with Santander is maximum 75% LTV. The loan would be assessed on a 25 year repayment mortgage for affordability.

    So yes, if you only had 80k deposit you would be over 75%. Amount of maximum borrowing would be dictated by affordability, criteria rules would override this if necessary.

    Giving full information may help, even better, keep to 1 post.
