Yes, you can get a 100% mortgage, which means you are borrowing the total cost of your property, but you don't get such a good rate, which means you will pay back more in interest than you would have if you had a deposit.
Some lenders will actually let you borrow more than 100% which is good for furnishings etc, but again, it will be an even worse rate of interest.
If you can save for a deposit it is definitely the most sensible option and will save you money in the long-run.

Listen to what Pet has to say. You absolutely can get a home for no money down. I am a licensed real estate agent in Massachusetts and I have seen it a few times. The fact is, most people these days don't have a lot of money saved, and well a lot of Mortgage Brokers have started offering these types of programs. You have to do your research, but it is not impossible. |

Some providers have started to provide 100% mortgages, together with 50 year loans and 5 times your salary. Just shop around.
Factors that will obviously influence the above are your age and your salary, and even to a degree the industry in which you work. |

I did, but I did have to pay about 500-600 dollars for closing cost and lawyers fees-I had good credit and I got my mortgage under then USDA-Housing and Urban Development, plus I was a first time home buyer (15 years ago)
my interest rate is 7.5% fixed
it never fluctuated when other interest rates did and if I can find a better deal now with a private lender then I can refinance with no problem. |

I bought my duplex with no money from MY pocket, no money down does not mean there is NO money down, at least not in all circumstances, I used none of my own money, but I also bought the house at a good price and was able to get a good interest rate 5.87% I did have to pay closing cost and all the other fees but that did not come out of my pocket either and if you have no other or very little debt it is much easier. I also used my existing property to help with the financing( a HELOC) and the duplex pays for it all. I used none of my own personal money. |

I used to to some advertising for Barratt Homes, and one of their great claims was that you could move in for £100. I don't know if they still offer this. |

No- - you need deposit money, legal fees solicitors fees etc etc. If you put in an offer a deposit is better than not. |

It is certainly possible. You need to talk to a couple banks and mortgage companies. Generally speaking you will need a good credit record to get a 0 down home loan and you will probably pay a higher interest rate. |

Um ... I suppose that depends a lot on where you are, but never in my experiences. At the very least you need to have the 10 per cent down payment, even with a very good mortgage company. |

I am aMortgage Adviser and you can get a 100% mortgage its not as hard as what people make out. Do some research and think long and hard as to wether you can afford the repayments. You will find it easier to get 100% if you have no other debt as this will come off th amount you want to borrow for example if you see a house for 100k and you have a loan of 10k you will only have 90k to buy your house so you will have to borrow 110k. Sounds complicated but dont go to a broker as you will have to pay a fee and they range from £500 to £5000 depending on the deal you take. Instead have a look at some banks etc get quotes but dont agree on anything there and then. Northern Rock is a good company and do a rate at the moment of 4.4% remember interest rates went up last thurs by half a %. Northern Rock do a deal called the 125 scheme this is where you can borrow 125% of what the house is valued at. For example if the house you want is valued at 100k they will lend you 125k for home improvements or to pay of existing debt |
