as a first time buyer you may well be eligible for the own home scheme which provides 100 percent funding for your home.

The initial question was...
Is it possible to get a mortgage with less than a 10% deposit
So why have we got regulars here stating No when they know fine well there are 95% LTV mortgages out there
5% is less than 10% so the answer to the question is YES
Claire..a whole load for you to look at

If you have £5000 saved, you will obviously need another £2500 just to make the deposit.
Yeah but 5 grand is less than 5% of 150 grandHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. The one where you showed us Dithering Dad is a complete liar. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team0
