It's one of the most common reasons people put off speaking to a mortgage adviser.
The reality is, there are now a range of options available depending on your circumstances.
Some buyers may only need a 5% deposit; some schemes can help eligible buyers purchase with £5,000, and in certain circumstances there are even 100% mortgage products available through selected lenders.
Every lender has different criteria, and these options won't be suitable or available for everyone.
That's why it's worth having a conversation before assuming home ownership is out of reach.
A quick chat could give you a clear understanding of:
How much you may be able to borrow.
What deposit options may be available to you.
What you could do now to put yourself in the best position to buy.
