In somes cases a deposit isn’t needed, for examples if you’ve thought about buying the property you’re currently in from your landlord or housing association, it’s worth checking your eligibility for the Right to Buy Scheme. Speaking to your local authority should allow clarification on this.

We would use UK Moneyman again, very good with communication and would recommend them to family and friends. They managed to get us a mortgage offer even though we had more 'complex' circumstances than the average lender. Very happy.
