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
DTR83

A legal and financial nightmare in the making.
Even if you can do it, dont.0 -
Why not ?
Currently I can see it as only one option.0 -
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.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

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

- atvwhich point that propsal isvwrong for landlord ?
- im paying the full mortgage and he is still ending with 30% of property share -and getting extra income of around 250 a month from renting of his part.0 -
This is not about findingbyhe the lender - this is about:
- is it legal ?
- is it make sens ?
- is it possible ?
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"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
