Lending fees and associated borrowing costs apply and can be added to the loan
For fixed-rate loans, if you decide to pay or cancel the fixed interest rate you may have to pay a breakage cost in addition to other fees such as prepayment fees
Any property used as security, which may include your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

HOW MUCH YOU CAN BORROW?
Most commercial mortgage lenders will ask for between 25-40% deposit as the highest loan to value (LTV) ratio you’re likely to find is 75%.
It could, however, be possible to get a higher LTV deal (up to 100%) if you’re able to put down additional security, such as a property or properties you own and hold enough equity in.
The more deposit you have, the better your chances of securing the mortgage you want, since you’ll obviously need to borrow less than someone with a smaller deposit. A higher mortgage deposit will also boost your chances of securing a favorable interest rate.
