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.

Chawley and Amber have both been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout all stages of the process. I would highly recommend them to fellow first time buyers, as well as anyone needing mortgage advice. Thank you both!

Kevin and Beccy have been extremely helpful - firstly in exploring viable options to suit my situation and secondly keeping me in the loop and dealing with queries that arose along the way. This is my second mortgage with them, both of which had possibly unusual elements and they were able to navigate me through them and find me good mortgages.
