With our first-time buyer mortgages, we will be able to assist you in getting onto the property ladder it is a key goal for most people to do this. Looking at your finances in advance can be a huge benefit to you. We recommend getting as big of a deposit as possible the deposit is the lender’s protection, when deciding whether or not to accept a mortgage application, lenders have to think about the challenges potential borrowers may encounter during the life of the mortgage. These may include temporary falls in house prices, periods of unemployment, and periods of a reduced income or at least reduced disposable income. The bigger of a deposit you can put down the less exposed the lender is to changes.
A bigger deposit will actually make life a little easier for you as that will mean you will have a smaller mortgage and pay less on your monthly repayments, this way it will be seen as more affordable as well. You want to set some money aside for moving costs as well, this is because buyers may be liable for stamp duty and will have to pay solicitor fees and a budget for any unforeseen expenses when you move in.
It is always a good idea to see what opportunities the government can give to you, there could be a help to buy scheme that you might be eligible for, it provides that the buyers can put down at least 5% of the property and then the government can lend up to 20% of the purchase price of the property. This means that the buyer only needs to get a mortgage for the remaining 75% of the purchase price. In this scheme lenders essentially insure a part of the mortgage with the government. This means that they are guaranteed to get that part of their money back even if the borrower becomes unable to make the repayments. Of course, there are rules and limits for both schemes which means that some people may not be applicable.
