π Can you buy the house you're currently renting without a deposit? π‘
In some circumstances, yes, it may be possible.
If you're renting a property and the owner is willing to sell it to you for less than its market value, the difference may potentially be used towards your deposit.
For example:
π Property value: Β£200,000
π· Purchase price: Β£180,000
β
Difference: Β£20,000
That Β£20,000 difference could potentially act as your deposit, meaning you may not need to provide a traditional cash deposit yourself.
This is sometimes known as a concessionary purchase or gifted equity.
Lenders have different rules around these arrangements, and some restrict who can provide the discount.
So, if you've been offered the opportunity to purchase the property you're currently living in, it's worth checking your options before assuming you'll need to save a deposit first.
