Yeah, we used this and came out the other end just over a year ago. We since remortgaged and stayed with them and they were great when it came to get permission to let (we moved abroad).
It was great for us as my folks * would have leant us the deposit, but getting them to put it into an account meant they couldn't beat us over the head with it every time we bought something or went on holiday while we paid it back.
It did mean my dad casually asking every few months if we'd paid the mortgage as the money gets tied up longer if you miss a payment. Even though I've never missed a rent payment in my life!
* Other parents behaviour may be different.
Has anyone used the barclays savings account mortgage they are offering?
