100% Mortgages

Please note that thre are no 100% mortgages available at the moment - so you will need to start working on getting together a deposit.

How 100% mortgages work

These loans offers up to 100% of the property price.


Advantages of 100% mortgages

You would not find a personal unsecured loan at such a low interest rate.

The funds surplus to 100% should cover all home-buying costs.

You do not need to find a deposit.


Disadvantages of 100% mortgages

In effect, you are in a zero-equity from day one and if house prices then go down, your situation will worsen and you will go into negative equity.

The interest rate on high LTV loans is considerably higher. With some lenders, a Higher Lending Charge (HLC) could also apply.


Which lenders offer 100% mortgages?

These are not even available any more - ask a mortgage advisor to let you know if one comes on the market - save for a deposit and then seek mortgage advice.
