Can I use the difference between past and current value of the property as deposit ?

Hi
I would like to ask if someone has any knowledge if below scenario will be possible to do.

I live in the property which is on interest only mortgage from 2005 - value of the property at that time was 150K.
Current value of the property is 200K
Im able to buy a property worth 200K only if I have 50K deposit.
My question is:
Can I get shared mortgage with my current landlord for the 150K where the difference between value of interest only mortgage and current market value can be used as a 50K security deposit ?

I would like offer my landlord to have 30% share in his property and pay him 30% of the current rent plus 100% of the mortgage.

Please help.

Regards

    Why not ?
    Currently I can see it as only one option.

    Because no lender is going to give you a mortgage over 70% of the property.

    Knock it on the head, its not going to work.

    I am assuming your landlord is a relative or friend as no landlord in their right mind would agree to it.

    As has been said, it would be a legal nightmare and so no lender would look at it in a million years.

    davidmcn - -property value is 200k so i want to get 75% of value as a mortgage - 25% is 50k which is a difference between current market value and option to buy from interest only loan.
    Ifvproperty was worth 150k - years ago when landlord get interest only loan - is mean he can buy it now at an ttime for 150 regardless of the current market value - is yhat correct ? -"if yes - can i have shared mortgage with him for 200k - where differencebin the valueis used as 25% deposit ?

    thanks

    Then where are you going to get 150k as a mortgage? you need a lender no?


    Why would you enter in a shared ownership with a LL?. If either of you default on the mortgage it would affect both of you
