There are no 100% mortgages available at this time (summer 2009) and it
is unlikely that we will see 100% mortgages return.
You will need a deposit of at least 5% to get a mortgage. Unfortunately,
this will not allow you to get the best mortgage rate - such deals are
reserved for those with 25% or more deposit
On the positive side, house prices have fallen by up to 25% and the
market looks like it has reached the bottom following small price
increases reported by Nationwide and Halifax. However, continue to
exercise caution as there could be a second wave to the recession; cuts
to public spending in 2010; redundancies continuing well in to the
recovery; credit card debt is high. All of this goes a long way to
restricting growth in the economy, so it could be many years before we
see a strong recovery and house prices start to rise strongly again.
