Looking for your first mortgage?

Buying your first home can seem like a daunting prospect and it could be the biggest financial commitment you make in your lifetime!

Trying to find the right mortgage for you can take up a huge amount of your time and the role of a Mortgage & Protection Adviser is not only to do this on your behalf but to explain the process as it happens.

Getting your first mortgage

Typically, all buyers, not just first-time buyers, will search for properties they think they can afford first and worry about agreeing on a mortgage in principal further down the line. We always recommend that you speak to a Mortgage & Protection Adviser as early as possible – this will mean you understand exactly what you can afford and potentially prevent heartache later on.

Having a small deposit can impact the options you have when it comes to mortgages, however, as a first-time buyer, there are specific mortgages available to you – such as Help To Buy – something else your adviser can help you with.

To progress your mortgage, you will need to make sure that you have your finances in order and your adviser will walk you through all the documentation you’ll need to move forward at this point.

We have access to 1,000’s mortgages from over 90 lenders. Our approach is simple, let us help you find the right mortgage for you, stress-free.

To speak to one of our Mortgage & Protection Advisers, please call us on 08454 500200 or contact us here.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances.
The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.

Chawley and Amber have both been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout all stages of the process. I would highly recommend them to fellow first time buyers, as well as anyone needing mortgage advice. Thank you both!

Kevin and Beccy have been extremely helpful - firstly in exploring viable options to suit my situation and secondly keeping me in the loop and dealing with queries that arose along the way. This is my second mortgage with them, both of which had possibly unusual elements and they were able to navigate me through them and find me good mortgages.
