First Time Buyers

What Is a First-Time Buyer Mortgage?

A first-time buyer mortgage is designed for people who have never owned a property before. Whether you're buying on your own or with someone else, we help you:

  • Understand how much you can borrow

  • Calculate your deposit needs

  • Access exclusive first-time buyer rates

  • Apply for government schemes (like Help to Buy or Shared Ownership)

  • Get a mortgage in principle (so you can make strong offers)

​​

We’ll explain everything in plain language and answer all your questions — no pressure, no jargon.

  • Coordinate your sale and purchase timelines
