Petition Extend the mortgage guarantee scheme to cover 100% mortgages
Support first time property buyers by reducing the deposit they require and encouraging lenders to provide 100% mortgages. Include an option for 100% mortgages as part of the mortgage guarantee scheme introduced in the 2021 Budget (which still requires buyers to provide a 5% deposit).
