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

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?
Very hard if not impossible to find these days - ask a mortgage advisor if there is one for your circumstances.
