As a first-time buyer, navigating the mortgage market can be daunting, but we're here to help. Our Maidstonebased advisers will be on hand to guide you through the process of securing your first mortgage, offering expert advice tailored to your circumstances.
Mortgages for First Time Buyers
The prospect of buying your first home could be both daunting and confusing. Our aim is to guide you through the process from start to finish so that you understand exactly what the purchase entails and how much it will cost.
The mortgage market changes all the time, not just in terms of mortgage deals and regulations but also in the way lenders assess loan applications.
Some of the changes have been in the way mortgage lenders assess the suitability of all clients for the different types of loans on offer. They base this decision on a variety of factors, primarily:
- The property – type, condition, access and location
- Employment status – amount and frequency of income (and time in your current role)
- Financial commitments – current and future (and your history of managing credit).
There is now more focus on affordability and expenditure. This is very different from the traditional approach of simply multiplying your annual personal (or rental) income by a pre-set multiple to obtain a maximum lending amount.
We pride ourselves on being up to date with regulation, legislation, and the economic market.
We understand your needs, match them to the requirements of lenders, and protect you and your dependants once you have bought your property.
This way, we help you save time and money in the new world of mortgage advice.
