    You cannot borrow the deposit to participate in the Government schemes.

    Some lenders will allow you to borrow your deposit for a standard purchase - subject to overall affordability.

    "it is not a lot, but deposit would be from a loan?
    do we have any chances?"

    You won't find a mortgage lender who will accept that, nor a personal loan provider who will lend for that reason
