As of 20 mins ago the Britannia is now the Co-operative....therefore that rate may be subject to change anyway :o | |

Nah, I wasn't trying to imply that. Just saying it's a good rate and if I was in that position I wouldn't mind finding 25% to get it. | |

quote: Not at all, that was in response to you implying that the lending criteria was different according to the rate offered, 'To be honest, 25% sounds reasonable for giving you such a good rate. I was simply correcting you to say this is not the case, i wasnt implying whether it was right or wrong. What i am saying is that the government and lenders should do more to help FTB's get a mortgage whilst house prices are at a low. | |

At the end of the day, annoying as it maybe for folk struggling to get on the property ladder, if you can save what they ask for, it will be worth while. You'd prob never save 15k for example, damn good achievement if you do it. | |

the amounts they are demanding form FTB are compeltely unreasonable and unrealistic | |

Lending criteria is the same for customers as it is for staff. if i had applied for the customer rate of 6.76% i would be in the same situation. | |

quote: Exactly mate, we got 15% together which when your both 22 is a lot of money, we then opted for the shared ownership to further help us get a property and they still turn round and say they want more. How on earth do they expect to get the industry moving again when they wont lend money to people who can clearly afford. | |

We are doing same as Ojc as well, renting and saving at the same time, looking to get around 25% or more deposit then when everything is a bit more liquid again going to get some silly small % mortgage and have more disposable income when we need it most (house repairs / kids shit like that) | |

That is more or less what they said to us, Leeds Building Society said we needed to raise another 2k, we already stumped up 8k by this point and decided that if they want to make what is supposed to be an easier way to get on the ladder really fucking difficult then what's the point? | |

Found a property, its a new build 2 Bed semi. Is on the shared ownership scheme, we will be buying the most they will let us to start with(50%) with option to purchase the other 50% after 6 months. Applied for the mortgage with Britannia(as i work there and so get staff rate 3% fixed for life with no arrangement fee). |
