What are
A first time buyer mortgage is designed for people purchasing their very first home. While the application process is similar to other residential mortgages, lenders often offer products specifically aimed at first-time buyers, with different deposit requirements, interest rates and repayment options.
To qualify as a first-time buyer, you’ll usually need to have never owned a residential property before, either in the UK or abroad. Every lender has their own criteria, so it’s important to receive advice that’s tailored to your individual circumstances.
At Keynote Mortgage Solutions, we’ll compare suitable first time buyer mortgages and explain your options clearly, helping you understand what may be available and guiding you towards a mortgage that’s right for your budget and future plans.
Many lenders offer first time buyer mortgages with deposits from 5%, although the amount you’ll need will depend on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria. Generally, the larger your deposit, the more mortgage options may be available.
The amount you can borrow depends on factors such as your income, monthly outgoings, financial commitments, credit history & deposit. Every lender assesses affordability differently, so the amount available can vary.
