Mortgage and buying advise

Options
My partner and I are currently renting and my parents are looking to move nearer to us.

We talked and decided to buy a house together so we could get something larger and use the money from their house sale to fund the deposit.

The house is on the market with no takers and we getting desparate.

We are fisrt time buyers and thinking we might buy their house and rent it out to release the funds from the house to buy our joint new one.

Only problem is we don't have any deposit, anyway we can make this work? Their house is on the market for £115k but looking to accept £105k at rock bottom.

Please help

    Apologies, forgot to add they have no mortgage
  • I think that you will struggle to get a BTL mortgage as FTB's with a gifted deposit.

    Why not just reduce the price until it sells?
