FTB/New Build - Minimum deposit

Any idea what the lenders think of new builds and maximum LTV's. Is a 90% mortgage unheard of with a new build?

(the development in question has been worked on for the past 5 years - house prices have increased from when they were purchased so negative equity doesn't appear to be an issue.)

    Is it a house or flat? (It does make a difference).

    Just done a quick search - N&P do new build 90% according to our sourcing software...its not always 100% accurate though so its worth double checking they do new builds at 90% and there could also be other deals out there...what your after isnt mainstream really it might be worth you speaking to a mortgage advisor.

    As the properties are 5 years old there could also be some le-way with some lenders.

    Hi Gary are you buying a new build from a developer? Is it built yet or off plan? On one of the houses I looked at I asked the builder for a 5% gifted deposit, free carpets and flooring, they said yes there and then.

    It may allow you to get a 85% LTV if you can get a gifted deposit.

    gary's post is from May 2012.

    Fletch has decided to Lazarus it because it's related to what he wants to know about, max LTV for a newbuild flat.

  • Um, "Lazarus it"??

    Just thought it better to add comments to a relevant thread which was already going rather than start a fresh one.

    If anyone else is doing the same thing then the lenders lending 85% for new build flats are Woolwich, Principality and HSBC.
