If you were on a tight budget you needed a 100% mortgage a loan for the full purchase price of the property, limited lenders accomadated this , with nervousness and lack of funds made it impossible for them to opperate at this high level of risk and exposure.

We were also able to assist those buyers looking at getting mortgages of 110%, 115%, 120%, 125%, up to 130% of the property value or purchase price.

The problem was that your choices were always limited. Few lenders offered 100% + mortgages and the ones that did charge a higher interest rate than they would for loans covering a lower percentage of the purchase price. Some lenders had even started to offer 130% of the property value.

You will also find that as well as having to pay a higher interest rate, you will be charged a bigger mortgage indemnity guarantee (MIG) premium than if you put some of your own cash towards the purchase price. However, to help cashflow, most lenders will allow you to add the MIG to your mortgage. Bear in mind this means you will be paying interest on the MIG for many years.

If you are borrowing the maximum, you should look at fixed or capped interest rate mortgages, since these buy valuable protection against rising interest rates.
