Getting onto the property ladder can be a massive challenge, although it is a key goal for most people it is not the easiest thing to do. With our help you will know exactly what you have to do to be able to get your first property. Our first tip for you to have the best chance of getting a property of your own is to get as big of a deposit as possible this is becuase a deposit is the lenders protection. When deciding whether or not to accept a mortgage application, lenders have to think about the challenges potencial borrowers may encounter during the life of the mortgage. A bigger deposit means that you won’t have to repay as much and that means your monthly repayments will be less.

In other words, funds available to deal with anything about your new home that you only noticed once you had moved in.
It is also good to check if there are any good government schemes to help you purchase more of the property so you can have a smaller mortgage.
