Is this right for you?

This could be a great fit if:

  • You have a deposit saved (or are close) and want to know what you can afford
  • You're unsure which scheme or lender suits you
  • You want jargon-free advice and a stress-free process

Frequently asked questions

How much deposit do I need?

Most lenders look for at least 5% of the purchase price, though a larger deposit usually unlocks better rates. We'll show you the options at every deposit level.

Can I get a mortgage with a small income?

Possibly — lenders assess affordability, not just income. We'll match you to lenders whose criteria fit your circumstances.

What costs should I budget for?

Beyond the deposit, plan for solicitor fees, a valuation or survey, and possibly Stamp Duty. We'll walk you through the full picture up front.
