First Time Buyer Mortgage Advice in London

How much deposit do I need for a first time buyer mortgage in London?

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.

What type of first time buyer mortgages can I get in London?

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.
