How much should I borrow?

Proudnanny

I need to buy my ex out ..I do  have savings that would go towards the full amount I owe,  but  I’m just not sure if I should give him  ALL of my savings  ... & therefore reduce how much I  would need to borrow (the rest I would owe him) ...  or keep a small amount  back for myself as I would have nothing at all to fall back on if I needed a new boiler etc 
thank you

Don’t think about it as giving your money to him, you are buying a house.  I assume you have agreed the amount, and you have had legal advice?

I would keep a safety net for savings - as you say things crop up.  Ideally you should have three months livI got costs, but you know what is realistic in these circumstances.

Borrow more keeping back funds.
Watch for going over a LTV band.

You can always change your mind and overpay.

Not so easy to go the other way.
