I have found that a 100% mortgage will mean that I pay less each month than rent, I will have no stipulations on how I enjoy the property in relation to pets (my current landlord charges extra rent per month per pet and bans me from having certain animals), I can remove the gas to the property and save on the standing charge when I don't need a gas supply, install solar panels to save on electric in the long term, I won't need to have the cost of taking time off work for the landlord to come and check the house or do works, and I can fix the house rather than patch it up and let the issue come back; which is my experience of landlords because they want to pay as little as possible for a repair even though this strategy is not cost effective.

In the US the cultural expectation is ownership. Renting is often described as "throwing away money". However, the recent housing market turbulence has started to sway that opinion, especially when other factors like being able to relocate for jobs are factored in. If you own a home you'd be forced to rent it out if you wanted/needed to move.
Personally I'd run quickly away from that Skipton style mortgage. A quick look at amortization tables for the 0% down versus a 10% down would probably show you paying almost twice as much overall in interest. And the huge risk of being what we call "underwater" in your equity 🤯. No thank you! It sounds even more expensive and risky as our balloon mortgages.

Yeah, it is good advice, but what you say to people who want to get on the ladder who can afford the mortgage but can't the deposit?

I think before someone goes for a 100% mortgage or a HLV loans, they should ask themselves why they are buying this property and if they intend to live in the property for a long time. I think many people buy properties with the thought of selling the house within the next 5 to 10 years and moving, and they are looking at the property as an investment, they can cash on at a later date. If thats the case, then HLV mortgages are not a great idea because as you mentioned, there is a chance you will find yourself in a negative equity situation. If you are planning to buy a house because you need somewhere to live, and you are not looking to sell as fast as possible, then negative equity is not really relevant at all. Renting will never be better than owing, it's just a fact. When you get older, and you are not able to work as much, owing a property is a form of security, and no future renters reforms will be able to introduce this level of security to any renter.

Hi
I no untested your example about the morgage .
If I pay 1840 a month for how many years? Thanks

[donniebrooks]

Interest rates are lower in the UK than in the US. If the market holds up then you could refi reduce the interest rate. Glad that u amended the numbers. Have a great week!

[bethmeredith]

You've both brought up good points and explained the pros and cons . Great video, thanks for sharing.

[Beachbum]

Finally some useful and informative information from you folks! I criticized you in the past for posting so many reels about the squatters… you really did over do it 😂 This is good and useful information now and more like what I expected from you as a viewer

[randombeatsuk]

Hi how would this work, my wife pays all the bills and I just pay my half every 4 weeks (when I get paid into her bank account) the only thing going out of my account is a mobile bill and Netflix

[jastherd]

Glad to see you fixed the math error In the example, when the video was first released the 10% column was not quite right (but I still got what you were saying) 😉. That's what I get for watching it right away, lol. Good content though, very interesting.

[Brooksie]

I'm so glad I bought my house when I did. The cost of houses now is mindblowing. I don't know how younger people could afford to get even the fixer-upper homes for what the going rate is where I live never mind a move-in ready or new build.

[petsloveonly]

Unless it's a property you can house hack and rent part out for airbnb then this monthly ptm is doable then hold on for the long term

[Niner]

Would you be able to do a BRRR strategy with this lending?

[floweraiz]

It is true that it would feel like still being a tenant to the bank, but for example, you will be able to paint your house in the colors you like, or put a nail in the wall, or have pets, that whilst you are renting, this is not an option

Lia, very interesting! Here in the USA, all military veterans get this deal; it's called a VA Home Loan. It was a big part of the GI Bill, which gave a bunch of benefits to people coming back from World War II (and all veterans who served afterward). Another major benefit is VA Health Care, which is basically the same as the NHS in Britain. Also there is free college, the VA will pay for your college as long as you attend less than, I think it's 10 years after you get out. Do you know if Great Britain did something similar for your veterans after World War II? 🙂

I have not taken advantage of the VA Home Loan because, though I live in Silicon Valley, I'm not in the industry....right now I'm making 22 USD per hour! Unfortunately not enough to afford a mortgage on an 800k house. Like I said, the median home price here is actually 1.7 million dollars! I could buy a mobile home or something I guess (or a house in like Kansas....but Silicon Valley and the Bay Area is home), but I want to get my income up a lot higher before I look at buying 🙂 I would say, probably the vast majority in the Bay Area are renters (I share a 1 bedroom apartment with a roommate). Owning your own home is probably the highest "class" of housing here. 🙂

Is this mortgage offered on shared ownership flats which are resold?😢

[BoBo-segw]

Good explanation video but still doesnt make sense to buy using one of these - the landlord being the bank charging more😂 still makes sense to just rent then - typical 1 mth deposit and a lot less than 1800 a mth per the example.
