PeanutButter Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Britain’s biggest lender is to offer 100% mortgages to first-time buyers in a return to lending last seen before the financial crash – but only if the buyer has family that can stand behind the loan. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/jan/28/lloyds-unveils-100-mortgage-for-first-time-buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tes Tickle Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What happens if the borrower doesn't pay the mortgage or declares themself bankrupt? If the saver's deposit gets seized in this situation then this is exactly the same as one person lending to another, so they may as well just do this and probably get more competitive rates. Similarly, I assume the one with the savings account can't withdraw it if they need the money. I guess they're hoping that the one with a "savings" account doesn't bother reading the smallprint. It's just a dressed up version of borrowing the deposit from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the family member(s) putting up 10% - Your savings will be used as security, in case the buyer misses any mortgage payments. You legally can’t take out your savings for 3 years which means this account cannot be closed early. If the buyer misses any mortgage payments, we will take this from your savings. That means you may get back less than you put in. At the end of the 3 years, you will be able to take out your savings plus interest. That’s as long as the buyer hasn’t missed any payments or their home hasn’t been repossessed. If the buyer is behind on their payments in the final 6 months, the savings must stay in the account for longer. You can only take out your savings when the mortgage payments are up to date for 6 months. We recommend that you obtain independent legal advice. That’s why we give you £300 towards this.

Tes Tickle Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks - that actually makes sense. It looks like the bank are assuming that the worst case is that the house will be worth 10% more after three years, after which the borrower will have (roughly) 90% LTV. All super, provided prices only ever go up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change your point that the banks continue to bet that house prices will rise. If they fall bu anywhere near 10% then the capital portion of the repayments gets basically wiped out (in terms of options for different style of mortgage).

Tes Tickle Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The capital repayment after 3 years would be pretty slim, I'm guessing somewhere around 5%. Repayment mortgages are mostly interest at the start, the proportion that pays off the capital increases through the term, as the amount that the interest is charged upon naturally diminishes every month. If prices merely stand still then it's likely that the bank would be more than 90% exposed after 3 years. E.g.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortgage payments are roughly £1600 pcm. On our 2018 statement to December 2018 we now owe £282k. So £30k capital has come off in 28 months which is an average of £1072 capital repaid every month out of the £1600. Gotta low low IR. And now on a 2.29% fix until 2023 to insulate against any Brexit huge IR rises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Now or never Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don’t think this changes anything, MMR is the real hurdle not a 5% deposit; removing the deposit may quicken the process for a few but not a market changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMR is tricky but you can get round it mostly, we did, you just need to live like hermits for 2 years, clear all unsecured debts, and develop a healthy monthly cash surplus which you can either save as cash or over pay the mortgage. Once you get the new mortgage you return to holidays abroad and borrowing for things and if you did paying back your family the cash you borrowed to clear your unsecured debts etc. For MMR to be really effective it would have to be reviewed annually after a mortgage is granted and penaltys applied if you couldn't pass it. We got through MMR with undisclosed private school fees that go through a separate bank account funded by Grandad. As it actually wasn't a direct cost to us and it doesn't show on any credit check as its private family finance we didn't mention it. For example , before MMR application in 2016 I drove a 2012 car on a loan. I made sure the loan was clear by early 2016 and so the car loan was gone, not a liability for MMR to push against. Once we got the mortgage Q3 2016 and moved in, come March 2017 went straight into a 4 year PCP for a BMW i3 Rex costing £465 pcm!!! Had I had the PCP in 2016 mortage we took on would have never been approved. Personal Family financial engineering. MMR is easy if you are good at financial planning and engineering. But the basic idea is good, even after any financial engineering if you cant afford the mortgage payments and basically live, you cant afford it.
