Our Services for First-Time Buyers
At Pearl Lemon Properties, we specialise in helping first-time buyers navigate the complexities of no deposit mortgages. Whether you’re interested in a guarantor mortgage or a family deposit solution, our expert advisors can guide you through each step. With fewer options available in the market, we help you access lenders that fit your needs while ensuring that your financial commitments are manageable.
Guarantor Mortgages
If you don’t have a deposit, a guarantor mortgage allows you to use a family member’s financial backing to secure your home. In this arrangement, a trusted family member or friend guarantees to cover your mortgage if you’re unable to meet payments. According to recent data, up to 60% of first-time buyers rely on family support to secure their mortgages.
Family Deposit Mortgages
With family deposit mortgages, relatives can use their savings or property as collateral, helping you bypass the need for a deposit. Typically, the lender holds between 10-20% of the property value in a savings account, offering the security needed to process your mortgage. This solution is ideal for buyers with strong family support but limited savings.
Track Record Mortgages
A growing number of lenders, including Skipton Building Society, now offer “track record” mortgages for those who have consistently paid rent. This innovative option allows first-time buyers with a solid rental history to qualify for a mortgage without a deposit, providing an opportunity for renters to transition into homeowners.

Common Challenges and Solutions for No Deposit Mortgages
Navigating the world of no deposit mortgages comes with its challenges, but with the right advice, you can avoid common pitfalls.
High Interest Rates
No deposit mortgages often come with higher interest rates due to the increased risk for lenders. On average, interest rates for 100% mortgages are 2-3% higher than those requiring a deposit. We help you manage these costs by recommending options for remortgaging or switching to a lower interest rate product after building equity.
Limited Lender Availability
Fewer lenders offer no deposit mortgages, and the application process is typically stricter. By working with a mortgage broker, we can help you access a wider range of lenders who may not be immediately visible in the general marketplace. With Pearl Lemon Properties, you’ll increase your chances of finding a suitable lender for your needs.

FAQ'S
Can I qualify for a no deposit mortgage if I have a poor credit score?
While a good credit score is ideal, some lenders may still offer a no deposit mortgage if you have a reliable guarantor. Our advisors can help you explore these options.
Are there any risks with using a guarantor mortgage?
Yes, if you fail to meet your mortgage payments, your guarantor is responsible for covering the cost. This could potentially lead to your guarantor’s property being repossessed, so it’s crucial to consider this option carefully.
What is the minimum income required for a no deposit mortgage?
Lenders typically base their decision on a maximum loan-to-income ratio of 4.5x your salary. For example, a combined income of £50,000 could secure you a mortgage of £225,000. We help you understand how this affects your mortgage affordability.
