First Time Buyer Mortgage Advice NI
What is a first time buyer mortgage?
If you’ve never owned a home before, you fall into the category of a first time buyer. There are a number of things that you need to think about and consider when applying for a first time buyer mortgage. You will need some capital for a deposit, some banks will only require as little as 5%. You will also need to think about other costs, such as: property searches, surveys, mortgage arrangement fees, solicitor’s fees, stamp duty, home insurance, removal costs and so on.
We also work with shared ownership, which in some circumstances may mean you don’t require a deposit at all.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
How do I apply for a mortgage?
Applying for a mortgage can be difficult and time consuming. Furthermore, if you were to approach a high street bank for a mortgage, they’re limited on the deals they can offer you.
As mortgage brokers, we have access to a panel of over 100 lenders, so we can compare the entire market and find the best deal for your circumstances. There are a few parameters that lenders look at to see your affordability; they want to see your income, out-goings and credit score, amongst other things and will then base their loan amount on that.
