    But if the lender values the property at £200k and I am purchasing 40% then my part is £80k. If I go for a 75% LTV my deposit would be £20k.
    Now if the seller agrees to £210, 40% would be £82k therefore the extra I would need is £2k


    Only if your mortgage company are willing to lend on 210k.

    Which it seems they are not.
  • Only if your mortgage company are willing to lend on 210k.

    Which it seems they are not.

    But if the mortgage lender is only lending upto £200k, they would lend on 40% being £80. For the balance of £10, 40% would be £2k which I can find.

    Is that not possible, as the lenders risk would only be £200k. Is that not possible?

    You would need an extra 4k actually because 40% of 210 is 84
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
