Virbio, sorry i was just using 6% as an example, rather then using 3% and getting unhappy when realise i can't get that.
i basically need a 60 mortgage but need an extra 20k to fix up and pay off some of my debts so i can afford the mortgage

My mortgage is 123,000, only payed off about 3000 and its over 30 yrs, not bothered though really, on the ladder though so thats the main thing. A house/Flat is very unlikey to depriciate and 9 times outta ten if it does it well go back up eventually, where as most cars depreciate 1000 a yr roughly

But u have 2 think mate, house prices are constantly rising, we r going to reach a point where people can no longer afford them, then the market will decrease rapidly, in a very short period of time.

This is why they've introduced the 'part rent, part buy' scheme. You have to be earning a minimum of 18k to qualify

Yeah i know there is always an element of risk and interest rates are at a record low but at the end of the day, you well be waiting forever for the market to be stable for a long period of time.
I looked into those part buy schemes(i earn about 30k), even applied for one but decided against it as they are no where near as good an investment as buying a place on ur own as when you come to sell it you hardly make any profit, although i see wot you are saying, that there is lest risk.

And pay off a 3 or 4 year debt with a 30 year one? This works out very expensive!

Not as good an investment as buying but certainly better than renting outright!

Yeah good point Ian, spose everyone is differnent really. For some people they are prob a really good idea.
The 2 schemes that i looked into prioritised key workers, eg people that work for the council.
One development had about 80 2 bed flats and they were all gone in less than 2 weeks, so that just shows u how popular they must be.

And Ally, hehe u sound like my girlfriend, prob a better way of doing things

I dont have the info any more, binned it in the end. Think it varys in different areas but if you get in touch wiv the local housing department they should be able to send you some info can be a good way to get on the property ladder if you cant afford a normal mortgage.

But he might make a lot of money on the property

Anyway u can't do that unless the house is worth 80k, the most mortgage u can get is 100% (no deposit) and most places thast do that offer a shit high interest rate don't they?

I would like to be getting onto the ladder but it's not realistic until i'm on at least another 4k a year and have paid off my debts and saved up a deposit
