Capital raise mortgage

Hi,

I was hoping someone could provide any info in respect of the following query.

I currently own 50% of a property that I live in and the other 50% is owned by my parents. There is no mortgage on the property and I am looking to get a mortgage to buy the other 50% from my parents.
I believe this would be classed as a capital raise and would be slightly different from a typical mortgage.

I am curious as to whether I would still need a deposit or if I could just use the equity I have in the house instead?

Also, I am trying to get an idea of the figures involved in mortgage repayments. I know this varies a lot based on a number of factors but I'm wondering whether a standard mortgage calculator would give me a fair idea?

The house is valued at around £100,000 and I would be needing a mortgage for £50,000.

Many thanks

You might still need cash in hand for other expenses associated with the transfer of the remaining equity and the mortgage

If you want to get a basic idea of how much mainstream banks might be willing to lend you, you could use one of these comprehensive affordability calculators

    Needless to say, there will be other criteria to meet.


    Many thanks

    Providing the mortgage is affordable shouldn't pose any issues.
