Mortgages For:  First Time Buyers

If you are looking for your first mortgage, you'll have to consider 3 main things - what deposit you'll need, what size mortgage you'll qualify for, and where you can get the best mortgage.  

As regards the deposit, most  lenders now require a minimum of 5% - 8% deposit  (however, some professionals will qualify for 100% Mortgages).

Different lenders calculate how much you'd qualify for in different ways.  Most banks and building societies now focus on your 'net disposible income', which means that the fewer loans you have, and the longer the mortgage term you go for, the bigger the mortgage you'd tend to qualify for.  As all the different lenders calculate approval amounts in different ways, the good news is that if you can't get a big enough mortgage from one lender, you may get it from another.  The best bet is to to submit a few details, and we can work out a max. approval amount for you.    

Finally, as regards the best mortgage, it depends on personal circumstances, but we offer all the main mortgage options, from 10 different lenders, so we should be able to find you the most suitable option.  Apply
