Track Record Mortgages

Why rent, when you can buy?

If you’re currently renting, or haven’t owned a property in the last three years, a Track Record mortgage could help you take your first step onto the property ladder – and you might not even need a deposit. Or we could help with up to a 5% deposit, to give you a head start!

What is a Track Record mortgage*?

Designed with renters in mind

This mortgage is tailored for people who rent or haven’t owned a home recently. Instead of focusing solely on savings, it looks at your history of paying rent to help determine what you could comfortably borrow.

Low or no deposit required

You may be able to apply with less than a 5% deposit - or even no deposit at all - making homeownership more accessible.

Flexible start to your mortgage

With a delayed start option, you can choose to postpone your first mortgage payment by up to three months after completion. This can help ease the transition into your new home, although interest will begin to accrue from day one.

A smarter way to buy your first home

Saving for a deposit is often one of the biggest challenges for first-time buyers. In many cases, deposits have risen faster than incomes, making it harder to get started.

Track Record mortgages offer an alternative approach. By recognising your consistent rent payments, they help demonstrate your ability to manage monthly housing costs, potentially opening the door to owning your own home sooner than you expected.

Who can apply?

You may be eligible if:

You haven’t owned a property in the UK within the last three years 

You are aged 21 or over 

You have had no missed payments on credit commitments in the past six months 

You’re looking to borrow up to £600,000 

For sole applicants

You’ve paid your rent in full for at least 12 consecutive months within the last 18 months 

You may also need to provide evidence of household bill payments 

For joint applicants

(up to four people)

You can demonstrate that rent has been paid consistently for 12 consecutive months within the last 18 months (either by one applicant or collectively) 

If renting separately, each applicant must show a consistent record of rent payments 

Proof of household bills may also be required 

A Track Record mortgage could be the opportunity to turn your rental history into a pathway to homeownership - bringing your new home within closer reach.
