    A friend went to an open day of an appartment block two beds for 170k , there was a mortgage broker there cornering people on the way out ,He has very savings and the broker goes dont worry i can get you the whole lot the price by "roping" the deposit into the mortgage? Is this dodgy?

    I'm not sure what is meant, but 100% mortgages are less than sensible.

    Say you buy the house for €170k, you'll need a deposit of 8%. If you dont have the deposit the dodgy mortgage broker and dodgy EA will say you bought the house for €185k, the bank will then allow you to get a mortgage of €170200, which is 92% LTV. The EA will then give the broker a letter saying you have already paid the €14.8K as a deposit, which you didn't, thats all the bank (probably) need.

    Its illegal and wont work unless your solicitor is a crook as well. I'd tell the broker to F.O. and report him.
