Halifax AIP Question

Hi,

My boyfriend and I have just applied for an AIP with Halifax - and they have told us "Following your recent online enquiry, based on the information you have given, we can offer you an Agreement in Principle for a maximum of £310080, with a minimum deposit of 25%, over a maximum term of 36 years."

I've looked through the small print but can't see anywhere that says whether that 25% can be made up of 20% HTB equity loan, 5% our deposit, or if it all needs to be from us. Could anyone on here clarify before I ring them to ask please?

    Did you key it as shared equity (adding the share and 3% cost) as a broker has to or is there no option?
