As a first-time buyer, you have access to the full range of mortgages on the market, plus exclusive first-time buyers deals and government schemes such as Shared Ownership.
With Shared Ownership, first-time buyers can buy between 25% and 75% of a property’s value – either using a mortgage or savings – and pay rent on the remaining share. They then have the option of buying a larger share when they can afford it.
Mortgagemove can assist any first-time buyer looking to purchase a home through Shared Ownership.
Key considerations when buying your first home
You need to know how much you can borrow, and that means applying for an Agreement in Principle (AIP). Do this before you have your heart set on a property to avoid missing out. An AIP isn’t a guaranteed mortgage – the final offer will depend on more stringent financial checking – but it’s an indication of how much you have to spend on a property.
Make sure you have enough money behind you to cover the costs attached to buying a property. You’ll need money for:
- a deposit; the more you can put down, the less you need to borrow (this can make it easier and cheaper to get a mortgage).
- additional costs like surveys and legal fees.
- appropriate mortgage protection cover.
- home and contents insurance.
- stamp duty if over £425,000.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP YOUR MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS.
