As a First Time Buyer going through your first mortgage process, things can all seem a little stressful and overwhelming. It’s our job to try and prevent this from happening by providing you with support and guidance throughout the whole process.
We have over two decades of experience working with First Time Buyers and helping them obtain their first mortgage. Our mission is to apply everything we’ve learnt to your case and help you secure your own mortgage.
Typically, the minimum deposit required is 5% of the property price, however, it can vary depending on different factors. Lenders will look at your credit score, personal and financial situation and the price of the property.
If you’re struggling to build up your deposit for the property that you want to make an offer on, you could try using one of the government’s Own Your Home schemes to give you a boost. For example, if you have a 5% deposit but need more to get accepted, the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme could be perfect for you. With a 5% deposit, the government will give you an extra 20% boost, making a 25% total deposit. This 20% is not a gift, it is strictly a loan and will need repaying.
