Buy a home with just 5% Deposit with the new Mortgage Guarantee Scheme.
The New Mortgage Guarantee Scheme was designed to help people with a 5%-9% Deposit to buy a new home with a 91% to 95% Loan to Value (LTV) Mortgage.
Due to the COVID pandemic, 95% LTV Mortgages were withdrawn by mortgage lenders, leaving a gap in the market.
This scheme reduces mortgage lenders risk with the Government implementing a guarantee to compensate for any losses.

The availability of high loan-to-value (LTV) lending has seen a sharp reduction throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This reduction in high LTV mortgage availability has reduced people's ability with smaller deposits to access mortgage products.
In this scheme, people with a 5% deposit, such as first-time buyers, get on the property ladder and home movers move onto the next property.
The mortgage guarantee scheme banks announced so far are Lloyds, Natwest, Santander, Barclays and HSBC, with Virgin Money set to pledge their support to the scheme soon.
The scheme is was scheduled to end on 31 December 2022 but after Government review was extended.
