What is a First-Time Buyer Mortgage?

A First-Time Buyer mortgage is a loan specifically tailored for individuals who have never previously owned a residential property, either in the UK or abroad. This status often gives you access to exclusive deals and Government support schemes, such as Stamp Duty relief and products like the Lifetime ISA. While securing your first mortgage can feel daunting, as specialist brokers, we take you through the entire journey, helping you navigate affordability checks, small deposit options, and documentation to secure the best possible starting rate.

Essential Steps and Available Support

The key to a successful first application is preparation. Lenders will assess your affordability based on your income, outgoings, and a good credit history. We specialise in maximising your borrowing potential and finding deals that suit smaller deposits (as low as 5%). Furthermore, we will advise you on vital schemes like the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, Shared Ownership, and First Homes, ensuring you leverage every benefit available to secure your first home sooner and more affordably.

Common Questions Around First Time Buyer Mortgage

What is the minimum deposit required for a first-time buyer mortgage?

The absolute minimum is typically 5% of the property value (a 95% LTV mortgage). However, saving a larger deposit (10% or more) can significantly improve your interest rate options.

How does a mortgage broker help me find the best rate?

We compare deals from a comprehensive panel of UK lenders, including those not available on the High Street. This ensures you access the most competitive rates available for your circumstances.

Can you guide me through my initial checks, such as an Agreement in Principle?

Yes, we start with an Agreement in Principle (AIP) to determine your maximum borrowing capacity and rate. This makes you a serious buyer to estate agents and involves no immediate commitment.
