ANSWER:
If the financing company buys the property and actually own it without any commitment from your side to buy it and without any down payment, this is permissible if they sell it to you with a fixed final price that can’t change or be increased under any circumstances.
But if they take a written commitment that obliges you to buy it from them before they actually purchase it, this is not permissible
