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:

  1. The property – type, condition, access and location
  2. Employment status – amount and frequency of income (and time in your current role)
  3. 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.

Getting on the ladder

A significant advantage to being a first-time buyer is that there is no chain, making a first-time buyer more appealing to sellers.
As we have access to many lenders, we are well-placed to assist you

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

!

A LIFETIME MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME. TO UNDERSTAND THE FEATURES AND RISKS, ASK FOR A PERSONALISED ILLUSTRATION. EQUITY RELEASE WILL REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR ESTATE AND MAY AFFECT YOUR ENTITLEMENT TO MEANS TESTED BENEFITS.

Our experienced financial advisers can answer your questions, explain the intricacies of different first-time buyer mortgages, and help you secure the best possible deal that aligns with your financial situation. We'll guide you through every step, from affordability assessments to application processes, ensuring a smooth and successful journey towards homeownership.

Surrey - June, 2023

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We initially contacted Jenny to find out about mortgage options for us.

How has Jenny Whittle helped you?
Jenny has gone above and beyond to support us in our first house purchase together. From navigating mortgage options that suit us and not pushing us into just any deal to thoroughly explaining all the different options when it comes to insurance and protection. She has also been incredibly helpful when our initial sale fell through. She kept us in the loop, every step of the way and responded to our queries and questions with lightening speed and has always been available when we needed her. She has given us exceptional service throughout.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.

What could they have done better?
Nothing. Honestly, everything has been perfect.

Thank you Victoria and Graham for the lovely review. Fingers crossed for a smooth house move!
