First Time Buyers Mortgage

Many Lenders Offer Special Incentives for New Buyers

Most high street lenders are keen to attract 1st time buyers and as such there are quite often special deals available.

No Deposit

With the arrival of the credit crunch 100% mortgages have disappeared. First time buyers will now need to fund at least 15% of the purchase price themselves, although to get access to better deals 20% will be required.

Small Deposit

The minimum deposit requirement is now 15%, to get the best deals a 20% deposit is often needed. This could be contributed by a parent, grandparent or other friend/relative but it would have to be a gift.

Graduates

Some lenders recognise that certain graduates have a solid career ahead of them with certainty of income, particularly trainee accountants and solicitors.

Buying with Friends

With the dramatic increases in property values in recent years single people have found it more difficult to get on the property ladder. Some lenders therefore allow two or more friends to pool their resources and buy together.

The benefit for the borrowers is the ability to borrow more whilst sharing the monthly mortgage payments. On the downside it can be awkward is one person wants to move. To avoid future issues it is sensible for borrowers to draw up a legal agreement to cover all future scenarios.
