100% mortgages: Five affordable properties you could buy based on the average Liverpool salary

For the first time in 15 years, UK residents are set to be able to buy a house, without a deposit.

The new 100% mortgage will give first time buyers the oportunity to get on the property ladder, and is open to all renters - who may otherwise struggle to buy a home due to high deposits.

Currently, buyers are required to put down a 5% deposit in order to get the mortgage. With a 100% mortgage, prospective buyers will borrow the entire value of the property they want to buy.

The details of the new mortgage include buyers being able to borrow up to 4.49 times their income, with a maximum total loan of £600,000.
