100% MORTGAGES

There are a few developments advertising properties for sale with 100% mortgages .

The reason they are able to do this, is because generally speaking a bank has repossessed the development from the builder and is selling off the unsold units at cost price , ie under market value and are therefore able to offer 100% mortgages.

It is still necessary to apply for and be approved for a mortgage. The application requirements are quite tough , so be prepared to produce solid paperwork for a mortgage application.

Here are the general requirements.

The following is a list of documentation needed in order to process any mortgage application:
- Copy of passport
- Copy of N.I.E.
