The lowest deposit usually accepted by lenders is 5% of the property’s value.
For a £200,000 home, that works out to a £10,000 deposit.
These are often referred to as 95% loan-to-value mortgages. Low deposit mortgages in Bristol are popular with first-time buyers and those who might not have large savings, especially in a city where house prices can be challenging.
While a 5% deposit can get you on the ladder, increasing your deposit to 10% or more might open up a wider choice of lenders and better rates.
Our mortgage advisor in Bristol can help you explore what’s achievable based on your budget.
Yes, it’s definitely possible to get a mortgage with a small deposit.
There are several options for low deposit mortgages in Bristol, whether you’re buying a new-build or looking at an existing property.
Government-backed schemes like the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme have encouraged lenders to support 95% mortgages, while Deposit Unlock is aimed at buyers purchasing new-build homes.
If you’re unsure where to begin, it’s worth speaking with a expert mortgage broker in Bristol such as ourselves.
We’ll help you understand which lenders are offering these types of mortgages and what you might be eligible for.

With our expert mortgage advice in Bristol, we’ll know which lenders are offering the most competitive options for your deposit level, helping you compare what’s out there and plan for what your repayments could look like.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Joseph Harros
As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process and found it quite daunting, especially with rising interest rates and uncertainty in the property market. We’re extremely grateful to Dinah and Jo for their support and would highly recommend UK Moneyman to any first-time buyer looking for a professional, knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process. We changed properties along the way, and our circumstances made the mortgage process more complex than we initially expected. Dinah and Jo were absolutely brilliant throughout. We would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to anyone looking to set up a mortgage.

Leo and Lizzi were exceptionally helpful. Leo gave us great advise, not just on products available, but on things like bidding on properties, whether we were likely to be approved for more complicated properties etc. Lizzi was very communicative and thorough in processing our application, and after our first sale fell through we didn't hesitate to use UK Moneyman again. Thanks so much to Leo and Lizzi!
