Skipton Now Offering 100% Mortgages

jakesmsn09

So you want to buy, but do not have a deposit available, and you have been paying rent and bills for at least a year? Exciting news, as Skipton have launched a new 100% percent mortgage product for renters who wish to get onto the property ladder but do not have a deposit to put down.


Skipton recognise there is a clear gap in the market for people who have a strong history of making rental payments over a period of time and can evidence affordability of a mortgage - but there is currently no solution for them to buy a property due to lack of savings or access to family wealth.


The product offered is a 5yr fixed deal, and you can take the mortgage term up to a maximum of 35 years. Typically, you will be able to borrow up to 4.49x your income up to a maximum of £600,000.


This mortgage product is available to those who can meet the below criteria:


  • Each applicant must be a first time buyer

  • Each applicant must be aged 21 or over

  • The same people who are renting now (and have been for the last 12 months) must be the same people on the mortgage)

  • Must have proof of having paid rent for at least 12 months' in a row, within the last 18 months

  • Must also have 12 months experience paying all household bills within the last 18 months

  • Each applicant will have no missed payments on debts / credit commitments in last months

  • The monthly mortgage payment must be equal to or lower than the average of the last 6 months rental cost

  • Maximum loan size of £600,000

  • Not available on new build flats

Skipton will also run their own affordability checks to ensure you can afford the mortgage.
