New property mortgage advice

Hi all

My husband and I are interested in a new build property which is up for £175k. The developer is offering part exchange (we hope!) which will literally just clear the mortgage we currently have. The part exchange is only about £75k.

This means that we have very little or no deposit and we are wondering if we could get a mortgage. My OH earns £20k and I earn £22.5

We really want to move so we can move on with our lives as where we live is gradually getting worse and if we leave it much longer feel hat the only option is to let it get repossessed.

Thanks for any help.

    Trust me it's not!
  • If you don't have around 15K available (and no - or at least very little - debts, loans, CCs or dependents) its not going to happen.

    If you let it get repossessed then make sure you find a nice place to rent as you'll be there for a while...
