What Is a Small Deposit Mortgage?
A Small Deposit Mortgage is designed for buyers who have a limited amount saved but still want to get onto the property ladder. Instead of the typical 10–20% deposit, some lenders may accept deposits as low as 5%, depending on your circumstances and financial profile.
These mortgages are suitable for:
-
Renters transitioning into home ownership
-
Applicants with stable income but lower upfront funds
Our panel of specialist brokers will review your circumstances and explore the most suitable options.
How Do Small Deposit Mortgages Work?
Because your deposit is lower, lenders may:
-
Assess affordability more closely
-
Offer high loan-to-value products (90%–95% LTV)
-
Review income stability and credit history
-
Apply specific criteria to reduce risk
Your allocated broker will compare options across the market and identify lenders willing to support low-deposit applications.

A mortgage is a long-term financial commitment and is not suitable for everyone.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
Interest rates may be fixed or variable. If you take a variable or tracker mortgage, your repayments could increase if interest rates rise. Changes to your personal circumstances — such as loss of income, illness, or increased living costs — could also affect your ability to meet repayments.
Mortgages often involve additional costs, including arrangement fees, legal fees, valuation fees, early repayment charges, and other lender or adviser fees. Extending the mortgage term may reduce monthly payments but can result in paying more interest overall and remaining in debt for longer.
You should carefully consider affordability now and in the future and seek professional advice before proceeding.
