    do you have enough money for the deposit?


    Ask your broker if this will be ok.


    Is your broker from the EA/ developer?

    I'm not a broker / expert, but you haven't given nearly enough information. Salaries, debt level, price of house, whether you intend to use help to buy, deposit available, and whether it is gifted would all be needed for anyone to have much idea.

    Basically debt can be fine if you aren't pushing to your maximum with your borrowing. It will reduce how much you can borrow, so if you or your broker are struggling to find a big enough loan without debt you'll have precious little chance with it.

    So the question is - continue as we are and get it paid and risk the bank declining us because most of our wages are gone or pay minimum payments have more money left over each month but then it won’t be paid ahead of completion?
    More money left over each month is not a metric in the mortgage decision process. Repaying debt on or before completion will help affordability.

  • Yes, from the developer. Is this a good idea or a bad idea? Should I get an independent ?
