First Time Buyer Mortgage

If you're looking to buy a home, you'll most likely need to apply for a mortgage. It's a loan which is secured against the value of the property.

Good news for first time buyers!

Good news. First time buyers can be helped by family members to purchase their home. They are able to borrow up to 100% of purchase price of a property, with family members providing 20% of purchase price in security either in the form of a cash deposit paid into a separate account or the lender takes a 20% equity charge on their residential property Or a combination of both. All legal charges are removed once the loan to value of the property falls below 75%.

With most first time buyers struggling to save for a deposit this is one way for family members to help them. For more details please contact us.

Securing a mortgage for your first home can be a lengthly process and confusing, with so many decisions to make.

Check your finances

The size of your mortgage will be effected by your deposit – this is the amount you will be contributing to the house purchase. Usually, the larger the deposit, the better mortgage deal you will be able to get which will help to reduce your monthly repayments.




Approval in Principal

Getting a lending decision (also called the 'Approval in Principle' or 'AIP'). We can apply for an Approval in Principle from a suitable lender. This will confirm that the lender is willing to consider a mortgage application from you and up to what amount.

Having an Approval in Principle can help you get ahead of the competition when making an offer on a property as it demonstrates your mortgage application will be considered by a lender up to stated amount.

An Approval in Principle gives you the opportunity to return to your full application later after you've had an offer accepted.
