They went above and beyond to help us get the best mortgage deal. We both had low credit scores and were struggling, and now we are all happy and settled in our new house.
The deposit is the part that holds most people back, and the myth that you need 20 percent or more stops plenty of buyers who could already own a home. With the right lender, a deposit of around 5 percent can be enough. The trick is knowing which lenders genuinely welcome smaller deposits, and that is exactly what we do.
A small deposit is not a no
Lenders treat low deposits very differently, and your own bank only ever shows you its own rules. We compare the whole market, go to the lenders most comfortable with smaller deposits, and present your case so your deposit and income are seen in the best light.
Family help, if it suits you
If a gifted deposit or a guarantor arrangement would open up a better rate, we will explain it clearly so you can decide. There is never any pressure, just an honest view of every route onto the ladder.
No deposit at all? We also advise on no deposit and 100% mortgages.

Why a broker

Good to know
Mortgage With a Low Deposit: your questions answered
How much deposit do I need for a low-deposit mortgage?
As little as 5%, using a 95% mortgage or the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme. We compare lenders and explain what you can borrow and the monthly cost.
Can I get a mortgage with a 5% deposit?
Yes. 95% mortgages let first-time buyers and movers buy with a 5% deposit, and we know which lenders offer the strongest deals right now.
Is a bigger deposit better?
Usually, yes. A larger deposit lowers your loan-to-value, which opens up better rates, but if 5% is what you have we will find a lender that works.
