Poppy is a first-time buyer looking to purchase a new build flat. She has been saving for
a deposit but still needs some help from her parents.

Poppy has been worried about a CCJ for an unpaid parking ticket she received in 2019, and that it could ruin her chances of owning her own home after being turned down by various high street lenders. But Vida can help!  Poppy’s parents used some of their savings and gifted her a part of the deposit. The developer of her flat also offered a 5% incentive which she is using to boost her own deposit.

Poppy’s Story

Poppy can borrow up to 90% LTV for the flat and Vida also considers her CCJ (received over 24 months ago) on the Vida 24 tier. Poppy can finally become a home-owner in a brand new flat of her own!
