In recent times, the 90 percent mortgages market has changed considerably. Before you could get mortgages that ranged from 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%, right upto 125% mortgages. This meant you could go out and choose a mortgage with no deposit and get some finance, or go back and pay down a large deposit, so that your monthly repayments on the mortgage were lower and it also allowed for mortgages to be taken out for smaller periods of time, as the repayments would be lower when you borrowed less. Lately the 90 percent mortgages and other select percentages has changed, with the banks all getting a bit scared to lend too much. Investments in properties are tricky with such a frothy top of the market price range, and with talk of the market dropping further, negative equity started to become a big worry. So the banks responded to both this and the credit crunch by curbing their investments in the sector and only lending a set amount as well as demanding a fair size deposit. This ranged from around 10% to upto 50%, which meant that any losses would be met by the borrower. There are still mortgages out there and if you get 10% deposit together you may manage to get 90 percent mortgages.
