Mortgages are considered to be pretty massive financial commitments. Because of this, if you are a first time buyer in London, getting the process started can be daunting. As we provide expert mortgage advice in London, it’s our job to reduce your stress levels and support you throughout your mortgage process.
It’s about more than just the mortgage; it’s about the journey you took to get there. We will do our best to simplify the process, keeping you informed at all times. You will have a mortgage advisor in London by your side, from the beginning until the end.
This is dependant on how your credit score is looking, as well as how low you want your monthly mortgage payments to be.
As a mortgage broker in London, tend to find that first time buyers in London who have a good credit score, have access to much better rates and can put down a lower deposit, such as 5%.
On the flip side, if you happen to be a first time buyer in London with a lower credit score, you may only be able to access lower rates and be required to put down a higher deposit, perhaps around 10-15%.
You may also want to put down a higher deposit if you wish to lower your monthly repayments. The less you need to borrow, the less you need to pay back overall.
The amount of deposit you put down will also depend on the value of the property you buy. If you require a larger mortgage for a more expensive property, you will have to put down more deposit.
There are a variety of first time buyer mortgages in London that may be available, each different from the rest. The most popular first time buyer mortgage is a fixed-rate mortgage, where you fix in your interest rates for a long time, to protect yourself against any interest rate hikes.
There is also a tracker mortgage. If the Bank of England the base rate goes up, so do your interest rates. If the rate drops, it will also do that. Discounted variable rates are a cheaper option, although if a lender’s SVR changes, your interest rates will change also.
Finally, there is an offset mortgage. This gives you an interest-free, flexible savings account to compensate for the balance of the mortgage. The greater your savings are, the less interest you pay on your mortgage.
To learn more about the different types of mortgages at your disposal and find out which one is best, please book online your free mortgage appoint to speak with one of our mortgage advisor in London today.
If you are unable to save up for the minimum deposit required, there are some government mortgage schemes that could help. They were brought in as a means of helping first time buyers to get onto the property ladder.
These schemes include the Help to Buy Shared Ownership Scheme, Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, the First Home Scheme and a handful of others. Of course, you’ll have to qualify for each of these schemes first. This is where an experienced mortgage broker in London can help.
For additional first time buyer mortgage advice in London and to discuss any of the government mortgage schemes if you need them, book your free mortgage appointment and speak to a mortgage advisor in London today.
As well as the deposit you saved, the other costs involved are conveyancing and solicitors costs, property surveys, broker fees, and mortgage arrangement fees.
You may also have a stamp duty to consider, as well as any insurance (to protect your home, content or financial security) that you can take out.
Your dedicated mortgage advisor in London will be able to discuss further with you in more detail all the additional costs during your free initial mortgage appointment.
To be eligible to buy your first home, you must first have saved enough for a 5% deposit or more to be eligible to take out a first time buyer mortgage in London. You will also need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor to carry out the legal proceedings that come with purchasing any property.
As a mortgage broker who helps first time buyers in London, we are here to help you, every step of the way. Our mortgage advisors in London can help you check your eligibility and get you the most suitable first time buyer mortgage in London.
