Need a shared ownership mortgage

Hi there we have been using a broker, who has not been the best for us,
To cut a long story short the mortgage we set up with the abbey has changed and we now have to pay 15% deposit instead of 5%

We put an application through Halifax but is was rejected and now we are panicking about whether we will get a mortgage or not

Apparently Abbey would be fine but we can’t raise the extra to go with it

40% share = 60000

Please help


Many Thanks

Matthew

  • Hi there,
    I'm not sure if this helps, but I'm currently undergoing a Mortgage with HSBC for a Shared Ownership Mortgage and mine has been approved. Maybe worth a try? Especially as HSBC, are not included in any third party searches inlcuding brokers.

    No you don't.
    You want a shared ownership mortgage.
    You can't afford it.
    Therefore, you'll have to go without. Sorry.

    Other high street lenders should be able to help

    A couple will even offer you a 100% mortgage of the share you are purchasing - assuming you meet their criteria
