Second property

My husband and myself are Mortgage free and our house is worth about £400000. We are both in our early 50s.
Two questions can we take out a mortgage to buy a second property, we don’t have any deposit, just our current house.
Or could I take out a mortgage with my daughter and her partner to enable them to buy a property. So there would be three of us on the mortgage
Thank you in advance

    Can you take out a mortgage on your home to buy a second property, yes.

    Can you take out a mortgage with your daughter and her partner will three of you on the mortgage, I assume you mean on their home, yes.

    There are numerous options and implications here though so professional advice is key.

    Why do you need to be on the mortgage for them to buy a property?

    Your better off pulling £50K out of your home and gifting it to them so they can buy a place together without any added complications of a third name.
  • Thank you. I’m just looking at options at the moment to see how I can best help them and wondered if anyone had any good advice
