First Time Buyer Tips

  • Buying your first property is an exciting prospect, yet it can be overwhelming knowing where to start.

    We appreciate that getting onto the property ladder can be a daunting prospect and we take pride in helping first-time buyers to get on the property ladder.

    Our job is to help you understand the process and to secure the most cost-effective mortgage for your situation.

    We will guide you through the house buying process and explain property finance to you without using jargon and will be with you from initial enquiry until the day you own your first home!

    Purchasing a property is one of the biggest steps you can make in your life and for most of us buying a property will be the most expensive purchase of our lives. As this is your first-ever property purchase it is important to us that you understand every aspect of the property buying process before you make your decision to proceed.

    There is a lot to consider when buying a property including; the mortgage terminology, how much you can borrow, what it will cost to repay, the setup fees including stamp duty, survey fees, the types of survey and getting the right mortgage protection insurance. These considerations and more are fully explained in our conversations with you from the outset.

  • Often the best lenders for first-time buyers are one of the high street banks or building societies.

    There are several first time buyer only schemes available that help with enhanced affordability. There are also innovative mortgages like Delayed Start which allow you to postpone your first payment for 3 months, allowing first time buyers to manage overlapping tenancies and unexpected moving costs.

    It is important to look at the rate, fees and the lender’s criteria when choosing the best mortgage lender.

  • Your mortgage broker should be able to offer guidance throughout.

    They should be able to answer your questions about how much you can borrow and how much it will cost you each month.

    They should also be able to explain the difference between a tracker mortgage and a fixed term mortgage.

    How much support will they offer throughout the process?

    What sort of fees they charge and when are they payable?

    Will they revisit the rate if it decreases?

    How will they help if the property falls through and you need to move the mortgage to a new lender?

    What happens when it comes time to remortgage?
