Let us find the juiciest quote for you
As a first time buyer, you may have lots of questions about how to get a mortgage and which type suits you best. For example, should you choose a fixed rate, a discount, capped or tracker mortgage? We can help you understand the difference between the various offers, and help you secure a mortgage that fits your circumstances. Here are some of the main mortgage types and ways to repay that you might want to consider:
Fixed - pay a set rate of interest for an agreed period
Tracker - your interest rises and falls in line with bank interest rates
Discounted - offers a small discount on the lender’s standard variable interest rate
Flexible - vary your monthly repayments
Capped - your interest rate won’t rise above an agreed level for a set period of time
Current account - these combine a banking account with a mortgage, allowing you to make overpayments and receive daily interest changes
Offset - hold all of your other borrowings with the same lender
Special first time buyer mortgages
Because getting on the property ladder is becoming increasingly more difficult, there are several types of agreements tailor-made for first time buyers. Options include shared ownership, 100% no deposit, guarantor arrangements or housing association co-purchases. Often, you can find mortgages offering up to 5 times your salary.
