0% deposits for mortgages to tenants with successful payments for 5 years

Petition Details

If a family can show that they have successfully rented for a period of 5 years with no defaulted payments. Allow them a 0% deposit mortgage if the monthly repayment is up to or under their current monthly rental.

Additional Information

A lot of people struggle with rent, however rental could be used towards a mortgage repayment history. If someone can say pay £1000 a month rent successfully for say 5 years, then they would definitely be able to pay a mortgage for example of £500 a month. Which I believe would help our current financial crisis but also allow current landlords to charge up and profit from the scheme also

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Mortgage rates and deposits are a matter for individual lenders.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to fund deposits for people with 5 years of rental payments, if that's what you'd like to see happen .
