## Resource

A young couple in Pontefract stunned the housing market by buying their first home—worth £156,000—for just £600 saved, thanks to a revolutionary mortgage called the Track Record Mortgage. Designed for renters with a proven history of timely rent payments, it bypasses the crushing deposit barrier. Saffron and Reece Green, who’d been renting for over a year and a half, waited until Saffron turned 21 to meet the age requirement—and landed their dream home. Since launching three years ago, this mortgage has helped over 1,000 renters become homeowners, with more than half now paying less each month than they once paid in rent. It’s proof that innovative finance can turn the impossible into reality, giving young people the stability and confidence to build a future.
