Hi guys,
This is kind of related to the news today about First Active's 100pc mortgage product and a passage from the Irish Times where Sarah W (who I think posts here from time to time) has been quoted. It reads: Sarah Wellband, of REA, said there was a big demand for 100 per cent loans. "It's certainly great for parents, who have been funding their children's deposits by releasing equity from their own homes," she added.
I have been saving hard for the past couple of years for a deposit and amidst the struggle - and tears of frustration - my father had mentioned using my (inheritance) equity in the family home as a means of securing a property. I shied away from this route as firstly I wouldn't want to put my parents to any trouble (they're not rich) and secondly simply don't understand what's involved.
Can anyone here tell me how this actually works and is it a legitimate way of going about buying a property.
