As a renter, are you struggling to save a deposit?

A deposit-free 100% mortgage specifically aimed at people currently privately renting has been launched by a UK building society.

The deal requires official proof of 12 months of on-time private rental payments and a good credit history, it does not need a guarantor.

The interest rate is slightly more expensive, at 5.49% than the average five-year fix of 5%, but a great way of getting on the property ladder.

Rapidly rising rents have made saving for a deposit increasingly difficult, at the same time that the government’s flagship Help to Buy scheme, aimed at helping first-time buyers, is no longer available.

People trapped in renting is one of the UK’s biggest housing challenges. With escalating rents and the cost-of-living squeeze further impacting people’s ability to save for a house deposit – it’s making it almost impossible for people get onto the property ladder.

Luckily, there are now options available to help private renters get on the property ladder.

The monthly mortgage payment for each applicant should not be more than the average of your last six months rental costs that you have paid.

For example, a tenant paying an average of £1,000 per month over the last six months will have a maximum monthly mortgage payment of £1,000 for affordability.

From my first phone call to Abby I was filled with confidence and the experience with the team was brilliant, especially when other companies involved were not so brilliant the Oak Mortgage team pulled out all the stops to make sure completion happened. I would highly recommend this company and will use their services in the future. Thank you again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex at Oak Mortgages has been an absolute life-saver. After being let down by a previous mortgage advisor who wanted me to take a massive risk with no guarantees, I contacted Oak Mortgages and was put in touch with Alex. Not only did he find me a mortgage with the exact same lender without having to take that risk, but he also got me accepted! His knowledge is top-notch, his communication is brilliant—he always picked up the phone and replied to emails super fast with regular updates. As a first-time buyer, Alex was hands-down the best part of the entire buying process. I am now happily settled in my new home, and I have Alex to thank for it. I will 100% be using Oak Mortgages again in the future (and hopefully Alex!). Thank you so much!
