Couple Purchases Home with 100% Mortgage Amid Risks

Conroy and Amber purchased a home in Manchester using a 100% mortgage from Skipton Building Society, which requires no upfront deposit but comes with higher interest rates. The couple, along with another pair who used a low-deposit mortgage, are aware of the risks of negative equity but believe in the potential for property value increases. Experts note that current mortgages have stricter affordability checks compared to those before the 2008 financial crisis.
