    Sub-prime? They will rob you, offer ~7%, then up it to 11% :eek: Think what you are letting yourself in for :o

    You aren't allowed/supposed to borrow money for a deposit anyway.

    If a lender will only lend you 90%, they want to know that the 10% is from your own resources. If you are going to borrow it, you need to disclose the fact. And then they probably won't be happy.
  • Thanks for you answers, ill try and raise the money myself then.
