New five-year fixed-rate mortgage lets renters turn keys into ownership without needing a deposit or guarantor. Tenants simply need a strong rental history and proof they can afford the mortgage. The deal demands a solid 12-month record of on-time rent payments, good credit scores, and affordability checks.
