What Are First Time Buyer Mortgages in London?

As the name suggests, first time buyer mortgages are designed for individuals purchasing their first home. You may see perks such as lower deposit requirements and favourable interest rates on these kinds of mortgage products. To qualify as a first-time buyer, you’ll need to have not owned property before. There are a wide range of options out there, which we will cover next.

What Kinds of First-Time Buyer Mortgages Are
There?

There are lots of different first time buyer mortgages out there, and the choice can feel overwhelming. Usually, they fall into one of two categories, which are:

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

A fixed-rate mortgage locks in your interest rate for an agreed period, which is most commonly between two and five years. This means that your monthly repayments will remain the same, which can make it easier to budget and keeps any surprise rises at bay.

Variable-Rate Mortgage

If you choose a variable-rate mortgage, your interest rate will be dictated by changes to the Bank of England’s base rate. This means your monthly repayments can rise or fall, but these types of mortgages often begin with lower starting rates. The most common kinds of tracker mortgages are standard variable rate mortgages, discounted variable rate mortgages, and tracker variable rate mortgages.

FAQs

How do I improve my credit score quickly?

Having bad credit isn’t ideal when you are looking for a mortgage, as it can limit your options somewhat. That’s why improving your credit score as much as you can is a great idea. It’s important to remember that building good credit – especially if you are looking to make a significant improvement – takes time. It then requires care to maintain it.

Here are some of the most effective ways to improve your credit score:

  • Spend sensibly
  • Make sure you’re on the electoral roll
  • Check for inaccuracies
  • Don’t move home too regularly
  • Pay off existing debts

We’re often asked what it is that we exactly do – so let us explain. We are here to act as an intermediary between you and any potential lenders. We will help you to find mortgage products suited to your specific financial situation and assist you at every stage of the application process.

In terms of cost, our rates are some of the most competitive offered by a mortgage advisor for first time buyers in London. Most impressively, we guarantee that if we are unable to find you a mortgage, you will not have to pay us a penny. Yes, you heard that right!

What type of first time buyer mortgage is right for me?

More and more people are struggling with bad credit, and it can feel like an impossible hole to dig yourself out of. Your This is an entirely personal choice, but one that we are here to give you all the necessary information to make. Those who value certainty may be more suited to a fixed-rate mortgage, as they will know exactly how much they will have to pay every month. If you are willing to be more flexible and would like to pay less each month if interest rates allow, a variable-rate mortgage would be a good choice.

We’ll closely analyse your financial situation, and then take a look at the current financial landscape too. We’ll then point you in the direction of mortgages that are a good fit for you – but the final choice is always yours!
