Guess who's back? The 100% mortgage!
April Mortgages has launched a groundbreaking product, the No Deposit Mortgage, marking a significant return since the global financial crisis. Perfect for first-time buyers and house movers, this mortgage requires no deposit and is available on 10- and 15-year fixed terms.
With a minimum household income of £24,000, this mortgage is a lifeline for tenants struggling to save while renting. Interest rates start at 5.99%, with automatic rate reductions as the loan-to-value ratio decreases. Plus, there are no early repayment charges for those who move or repay the loan from personal funds, and unlimited overpayments are allowed.
James Pagan, director of product at April Mortgages, emphasises the need for products that reflect today's housing realities without loosening standards. Meanwhile, Rachael Hunnisett highlights the challenges of wage growth versus rising house prices, committing to making mortgages more flexible and suited to modern living.
