Currently, a new mortgage product has hit the market that will help people purchase property with no deposit. This mortgage product is helpful because it saves people from the burden of having to save for their first home. Like traditional mortgages, they lend money to people which they promise to pay back in order for them to use this money to pay for a home. This product eliminates saving for a home which takes the typical saver about eight years to do so. The mortgage product is launched by Lloyds Bank. The bank will loan hundred percent of the deposit for a new home on the condition that a relative of the borrower opens a fixed-rate savings account with the bank and deposits ten percent of the amount of the mortgage into the account. The money in the account cannot be removed by the relative until after three years, and the rate for it is 2.5 percent. This product has been touted to be an innovative mortgage product.
