100 Percent Mortgage

100 % mortgages are a loan for the full purchase price of the property.

The problem is that your choices are limited. Few lenders offer 100 percent mortgages and the ones that do offer 100 percent mortgages charge a higher interest rate than they would for a mortgage covering a lower percentage of the purchase price. i.e. 95%

There are now some mortgage lenders that offer 100 percent mortgages without charging a mortgage indemnity guarantee premium. These 100 percent mortgage lenders also can lend higher than standard income multipliers, however their interest rates for these 100 percent mortgages are again higher than a 95% mortgage.

If you are borrowing the maximum 100 percent mortgage, you should consider a fixed or capped interest rate mortgages, since these buy valuable protection against the risk of rising mortgage interest rates.
