Our Standard Residential product is suitable for applicants who have a 20% deposit or more. This deposit can be gifted by family. If you have a 20% deposit, we can provide you with the money you need, as long as you fit our criteria and pass our affordability checks. With our flexible approach, our underwriters are happy to look at the more unusual properties, previous credit issues, different income streams and other exceptions to “normal mortgage criteria”.
