Mortgage Confusion

Options
I am looking at a shared ownership house and need a small mortgage of approx. £22k. Potential down side is that I am in temporary employment, albeit on a long term basis. I need to know if a) I am likely to get a mortgage B) who lends on shared ownership properties? NB parents are in their late 70's would they be considered as guarantors?

    All depends on the details of the case, such as your work history, income, outgoings, the loan to value, if it's newbuild etc.

    Parents as guarantors? No. They would be unable to guarantee the payments for the whole term.
