How the ￡5k Deposit Mortgage helped a FTB client buy instead of renting

We recently had a first-time buyer case where the applicant was planning to move out of a family home into rented accommodation. The initial cost for this would have been several thousands, including upfront rental payments and a large deposit.

However, after seeing a local mortgage firm advertise the ￡5k Deposit Mortgage, they made contact and proceeded with the broker on a purchase, using their savings to buy their own place instead of renting.

This first-time buyer never thought they would be able to buy their own home – but now they can thanks to the ￡5k Deposit Mortgage.
