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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unexpectedly had to source a small mortgage to complete a house purchase. We contacted Oak Mortgages to explain we were under prepared to start mortgage applications but they put in alot of leg work and employed the full use of their team to source the best value, conditions and terms that fit our situation. Contact was prompt and informative, with all questions answered and investigated with patience and clarity. The team were very empathetic and took on a level of customer care I didn't expect from a mortgage broker. Whether it was over the phone or by email, all information was presented and explained in the best way for us to make an informed decision on what we were buying and agreeing to. The team continue to provide that care even after mortgage offer is accepted and purchases are complete, and I look forward to speaking to them again in the future as they monitor mortgage rates and endeavour to advise what are the best options available going forward.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. They’re the only mortgage brokers I use, and for good reason. The level of service, professionalism and dedication is second to none.

Nothing is ever too much trouble, communication is excellent, and they’re always on hand to answer questions, explain the process and find the best possible solutions, even when things aren’t straightforward.

With multiple property investments, it’s important to have someone knowledgeable, reliable and proactive in your corner, and that’s exactly what you get.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage, remortgage or property investment finance. They’ll certainly continue to be my go-to as I grow my property portfolio.

Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first contact through (what was a complex and hugely frustrating conveyancing process), to the day of completion, Oak Mortgages were the shining light that got us through.

Sarah and her team were brilliant.

They were responsive, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, and human at each and every stage.

We are so grateful that we used Sarah and Oak Mortgages and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to guarantee that authentic, trustworthy approach from professionals who care.

A top class act - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
