Is a zero-deposit mortgage possible?

Most lenders require a deposit, but there are limited options for mortgages with no deposit — usually called 100% loan-to-value (LTV) mortgages. These rely on family support or specialist schemes.

What’s available:

  • Family-backed mortgages: Some lenders allow parents to place savings in a linked account as security. See family gifted deposit advice for alternatives.
  • Guarantor and JBSP options: A JBSP mortgage or guarantor setup can help boost affordability while keeping ownership with you.
  • Government schemes: While Help to Buy has ended, schemes like First Homes or Shared Ownership may reduce the deposit hurdle.

Zero-deposit mortgages are rare and come with tighter checks. For impartial context, see MoneyHelper’s guide to deposits. We’ll confirm if a no-deposit option works for you or if low deposit mortgages are a more realistic route, perhaps a shared ownership mortgage is also a possibility?

How no-deposit options fit locally

Local property prices set the size of the mortgage you’d need. ONS figures (July 2025) show averages of £237,000 in North Kesteven (Sleaford) and £184,000 in Lincoln. A 100% LTV mortgage means borrowing the full amount — without a deposit buffer, affordability checks are stricter.

  • Sleaford & villages: First-time buyers often look to family support, either savings pledges or JBSP, to get started.
  • Lincoln, Grantham, Boston: Lower values can make 100% LTV more plausible, but lenders still require strong income evidence.
  • RAF households: With postings and allowances, affordability can be complex; JBSP or family-backed schemes are often explored.

We’ll explain the local lender landscape and when a no-deposit mortgage is achievable — or whether a 5% deposit could open far more products.

FAQs

Do 100% mortgages still exist?

Yes, but only a handful of lenders offer them, usually with family savings pledged or as JBSP setups.

What’s the risk of no deposit?

If property values fall, you could be in negative equity. Lenders apply stricter affordability checks as a safeguard.

Are family-backed mortgages the same as guarantor mortgages?

Not always. Family-backed deals may use savings as security, while guarantor mortgages rely on the guarantor’s income and assets.

Would saving 5% make a big difference?

Yes. A 5% deposit opens far more products and often lower rates. We’ll show you the trade-offs.
