100% MORTGAGE ESSENTIALS

Can you get a mortgage with no deposit?

Some lenders offer 100% mortgages to eligible buyers, allowing you to purchase a home without a traditional deposit. Here's what lenders may consider when assessing your application.

No deposit required

A 100% mortgage could allow you to borrow the full purchase price of a property. Availability is limited, and lenders apply specific eligibility requirements.

Your rental history

Some no-deposit mortgage schemes consider your record of paying rent on time. A consistent rental history may help demonstrate your ability to manage mortgage repayments.

Income and affordability

Lenders assess your income, monthly spending, existing debts and credit history to determine whether you can comfortably afford a 100% mortgage.

Family-assisted mortgages

Some lenders offer mortgages using family savings or property as additional security, potentially allowing you to buy without providing a traditional cash deposit.

100% Mortgage Types

Some lenders offer mortgages without a traditional deposit, but eligibility and requirements vary. Explore the different ways you could buy a home with little or no savings.

Some lenders consider your rental payment history when assessing eligibility for a no-deposit mortgage.

Parents or relatives may be able to use their savings or property as security instead of providing a cash deposit.

A family member may agree to support your mortgage repayments, subject to the lender's requirements.

First-time buyers may be eligible for a 100% mortgage without saving a traditional deposit. Lenders typically assess your income, credit history, affordability and, for some products, your rental payment history. Eligibility varies between lenders, and not all first-time buyers will qualify.

What are the risks of a 100% mortgage?

A 100% mortgage could help you buy a home without saving a traditional deposit, but there are some important considerations. Understanding the potential risks can help you decide whether a no-deposit mortgage is right for you.

With a 100% mortgage, you're borrowing the full purchase price of your home. If property prices fall, your home could become worth less than the outstanding mortgage balance. This is known as negative equity and could make it harder to sell your property or remortgage in the future.

Zero-deposit mortgages may have higher interest rates than mortgages with larger deposits, potentially increasing your monthly repayments and overall borrowing costs. With no initial equity in your property, you may also have fewer remortgage options. It's important to consider whether repayments would remain affordable if interest rates increased.

A change in employment, reduced income or unexpected expenses could make your mortgage repayments harder to manage. With a 100% mortgage, you may have little or no equity to fall back on initially. Before applying, consider your financial commitments, emergency savings and how you would manage your repayments if your circumstances changed.
