Get your first mortgage on your first house.

First time buyer mortgages, for those who are buying their first home.

What is a 'first time buyer mortgage'?

The definition of a first-time buyer is a person buying a property who has never owned one before.

The prospect of buying your first home can be both daunting and confusing. Our aim is to guide you through the process from start to finish so that you understand exactly what the purchase entails and how much it will cost.

The mortgage market changes all the time, not just in terms of mortgage deals and regulation, but also how lenders assess loan applications.

Some of the changes have been in the way mortgage lenders assess the suitability of all clients for the types of loan on offer. They base this decision on a variety of factors, primarily:

  • The property – type, condition, access and location
  • Employment status – amount and frequency of income (and time in your current role)
  • Financial commitments – current and future (and your history of managing credit)

 

We hold your hand through the entire process, from the initial appointment where we help you discuss your goals, all the way through to completion and getting the keys to your new home. This is our job, but you won’t have done this before so we understand you may have a lot of questions. This is why we stress that you can ask as many as you want, as often as you want, even if you think the question is silly!

We understand how important a decision getting the right mortgage is. But it’s not just about taking out a mortgage, it’s about getting the keys to your new home, and we’re with you every step of the way.
