Danny_Boy   10 #3 Posted December 16, 2008 Does anyone know if anyone is doing 100% mortgages at this present time.Me and my partner dont have a deposit and are looking to buy.  The government scheme posted above is the only real way to go, as no mortgage lenders are doing 100% mortgages. The best we can do is 95% but only if you have a guarantor, otherwise is 90% maximum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
GrannyGranny   10 #4 Posted December 17, 2008 I woudld wait until you have a deposit saved up.  If you buy now you will be looking at negative equity from day 1.  Buy when the market begins to pick up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Grandad.Malky   11 #6 Posted December 17, 2008 Anyone buying with a 100% mortgage must be bold or daft, every time you put the news on there is another financial crisis, as someone said you are looking at negative equity before you even start.  Obviously that’s not a problem if you stay in your home but with the current job situation how many can guarantee that.

Square-Bashe   10 #7 Posted December 17, 2008 I'd not recommend you consider these. At the moment they would be a foolish thing to get involved with unless you can really really afford it, in which case you would do no better than save up a deposit until you can get a 10%+ deposit and benefit from lower interest rates.

GrannyGranny   10 #8 Posted December 18, 2008 Buy when the market picks up?then you have allready missed the boat(no one knows when that will be)just buy when you feel its the right house and price for you regardless of what other people say.  That would be ok if the OP had a deposit.  Even if they could get a 100% mortgage there is no back up money incase the boiler packs up etc.  This may sound harsh but there are alot of home owners who bought on a 100% or 110% mortgage and their debt is now 125/130% of the value of their house and rising.

Phylis   10 #9 Posted December 18, 2008 100% mortgages just dont exist anymore. Try some of the shared ownership schemes. They are there to help people in your situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dirend   10 #11 Posted December 18, 2008 I think with the shared equity schemes you don't require a deposit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
