Something for First-Time Buyers

The first step is to find out how much money you can borrow and then work out what’s affordable for you. The main hurdle many first time buyers come up against is finding money for the deposit. Having a small deposit can restrict the number of mortgages available to you, but there are first-time buyer mortgage schemes – such as Help to Buy – that your mortgage adviser can discuss with you.

Following this, the next step is to get yourself mortgage ready. With more stringent affordability testing from the lender, it’s important that your finances are in order. You might be surprised that there are actually some really simple things you can do to help improve your chances of getting a mortgage.

Brilliant experience with Simon, we had previously gone with a different broker, and then when we were introduced to Simon we went through him and I'm so glad we did, his attentiveness and knowledge was excellent. I would highly recommend Simon.
