100 per cent mortgages - only if you can afford it

Only those potential housebuyers who can actually afford to take out a 100 per cent mortgage, should do so, a property expert has remarked.

Ray Boulger from UK mortgage advisory group John Charcol made his comments in the wake of figures that show house prices rose in 2006 by around an average of £14,000.

By taking out a 100 per cent mortgage to pay for a property, first-time-buyers will especially be affected by the housing market growth as they will ultimately need to take out a larger loan as well as coping with higher interest rates.

Mr Boulger said: "If you don't have a deposit then essentially you have little choices when it comes to buying property. 100 per cent mortgages are a way round this and help to get you onto the property market."

He added that a 100 per cent mortgage would suit those people who believe that property prices will increase, even if the rise is only "modest".
