Only have a small deposit? We can help

Many buyers worry they need a huge deposit, but mortgages with just 5% down are still available. These are sometimes called “95% LTV mortgages” and can be a realistic route onto or up the property ladder.

What to know:

At Spolton Mortgages we compare whole-of-market lenders, explain the differences between 5%, 10% and higher deposit products, and guide you through the application. For a wider overview, see MoneyHelper’s guide to deposits.

Buying with a small deposit in Lincolnshire

Property prices across Lincolnshire vary, which affects how achievable a low-deposit purchase is. ONS data (July 2025) shows averages of £237,000 in North Kesteven (Sleaford) and £184,000 in Lincoln. With a 5% deposit, that’s £11,850–£11,900 required up front.

  • Sleaford & NG34: Popular with first-time buyers using 5% deposit deals.
  • Lincoln & Boston: Lower average prices mean deposits can be smaller in absolute terms, making low-deposit options attractive.
  • Stamford & Newark: Higher prices mean deposits need stretching further; we’ll check if a guarantor or JBSP mortgage fits.
  • RAF bases (Cranwell, Waddington, Coningsby): Families often use low-deposit products when relocating under posting deadlines.

We’ll map your budget to local values and highlight which lenders are most active in the Lincolnshire market.
