can you have a 2 seperate mortages with 2 companies etc?
as for 35k we can have between 10 and 20% deposit etc.
its begining to grate that as the interest rate is so low at the moment, yet the mortgage lenders are not passing it on.
this time last year for the same ammount with nationwide, we would have been paying an extra £40 a month, yet couldnt find a house we liked enough!
The base rate might be 1.5%, but you're unlikely to find anyone lending at any less than 4% - and that would only be to someone with a big chunk of equity in their house.
What you're basically saying above is "I want a 90% mortgage and I've been offered one at 7.09%, but I want the same rate as someone with a 60% mortgage".
Which is something you're just gonna have to deal with.
This time last year you could have got a better rate, but this time last year, that 155k house was 175k... Talk about want your cake and eat it!
