    Hi
    Myself and my children are British citizen my wife is a Ghanaian recently granted leave to remain for 30months and will qualify for indefinite leave to remain in 2019.
    I currently have existing mortgage and purchasing bigger house

    So far I am unable to find any lender who will offer 90% LTV except up to 75% LTV only.
    I know that my wife will be qualified for indefinite leave to remain in uk however some lenders are unwilling to offer mortgage in excess of 75%.

    Are there any lenders who can help or understand rules regarding immigration rules via 5 year route
    Or are there any lenders who can offer up to 90% LTV please
    Thank you

    You need to create your own thread I'm afraid

    Yes there are Kojo but this is a complex area where a broker is necessary.

    Not quite 15% but i remember about 14yrs ago i wanted to buy a new build house at £75,000 wanted to put down £35,000 depoist and was told rate would be 11% and then she back tracked and said no one wants to make an offer.

    Even when i said id put down £40,000 down (cash sat in the bank) she said coumputer says no.

    Credit history wasnt great but wasnt that awful....so !!!!ed it up the wall over 18 months,that showed the !!!!!!s...lol

    Fast forward 4yrs and on a whim me and the wife get a 100% Mortgage with no depiost and offerd about 20k more than we wanted...crazy crazy world we live in.

    Hardly. My mum and dad bought their first house in 1981 for £13k, with a £2k deposit and an £11k mortgage. There's a house that is STC on the same road, which was up for sale for £165k. So a first time buyer would have to have around £16.5k for a deposit and a hefty £150k mortgage. Interest rates may be lower now but people have to pay interest on a much greater amount. What could have bought you a decent starter home years ago is no longer enough for a deposit today. And people today don't get decent rates on their savings, and are paying over the odds on rent. To say young people have it easy today is just plain ignorant.
