We are specialists in helping people buy their first property. We understand the financial pressures of modern life and how difficult they can make buying your first home.
The property market has been moving very fast and this has led to significant increases in property prices. First time buyers have been hit particularly hard and, although you may be able to afford the monthly repayments on a mortgage, you may not have a suitable deposit available to you.
The advantages of being a first time buyer:
- first time buyers are more appealing to sellers because they are not in a chain
- first time buyers are much sought after by mortgage lenders
- interest rates are at their lowest for more than 30 years
Before you start looking at properties and going from estate agent to estate agent, find out how much you can borrow based on your earnings. Once this has been established you can start looking for your first home.
Whether you have a deposit or not, find out how much you could borrow by completing our no obligation enquiry form.
