Who is a First-Time Buyer?

A first-time buyer is someone purchasing their first property. This exciting milestone often comes with various benefits, such as lower fees, special mortgage deals, and quicker processing times.

We understand this is a big step and may come with plenty of questions, but with our expertise, we’ll make this process much easier and more confident for you.

How Do First-Time Buyer Mortgages Work?

First-time buyer mortgages are specifically tailored to help individuals and couples (who are both first-time buyers) purchase their very first home. These mortgages work by providing you with a loan for the majority of the property’s cost, which is then paid off over time, with interest, through regular monthly payments.

With numerous mortgage products on the market, we’re here to make sense of it all. As your dedicated mortgage advisor, we’ll help you find the best deal available and manage the details so you can make your first move onto the property ladder with confidence.

Mortgages for Young Couples

Many couples opt for a joint mortgage, where both incomes are considered when determining how much you can borrow. We’ll use our mortgage calculator to figure out how much you could borrow and comfortably pay back.

Your budget is our top priority. We’ll also assess your credit scores to ensure we can source the most cost-effective mortgage options available for your situation.

First-Time Buyer Mortgage Tips

Here are a few key tips to help you secure your mortgage approval and achieve your homeownership goals:

Maintain good credit: Lenders prefer borrowers who manage their credit responsibly. Paying bills on time and managing your credit commitments will increase your chances of mortgage approval.
Register on the electoral roll: This simple step can boost your credit score and show lenders you’re settled at your address.
Budget for extra costs: Don’t forget about the additional expenses involved in purchasing a home, such as legal fees, surveys, insurance, and other protection costs.
Look into government schemes: If you’re eligible, you may benefit from government-funded mortgage guarantee schemes, such as Right to Buy or Shared Ownership mortgages. While the terms can be complex, we’re here to help you understand your options.

How Much Deposit Do First-Time Buyers Need?

The typical deposit requirement for a first mortgage is 5% of the property’s purchase price. A larger deposit can help you secure a better deal with lower monthly payments, so if you’re able to save more, it’s definitely worth considering.
