  • £10,000 more in value.
  • I know that you can get 100% mortgage through HSBC. (I think it is called a Home Start Mortgage)
    Again...too little info to know whether this would apply to yourselves but worth looking in to.

    If the value of the property is £10k more, they may not need a 100% mortgage. They may be able to use the extra £10k in value as a gifted deposit from the vendor (family member)

    This way they will be able to get lower interest rates for 95% schemes.

    More information would be needed on the whole scenario though

    I would suggest talking to a fee free whole of market adviser to make sure they would be eligible to look at this route.
