A leading UK lender will launch an 100% mortgage for those unable to save for a deposit, the first since the 2008 financial crisis.

Borrowers will need to demonstrate a history of paying rent comparable to mortgage repayments for up to two years to qualify for the loan from Skipton Building Society.

If you are considering going down this route, we want to hear from you about why. What is your current housing situation?

Have you previously applied for another mortgage – if so, why were you unsuccessful? Do you have any concerns?
