We understand that with so many choices on offer and decisions to make when it comes to approaching your first mortgage, it can be overwhelming. In 2023, there were almost 300,000 first-time buyers in the UK, so you aren’t alone.

The mortgage market for First Time Buyer mortgages is buoyant and although many elements of the first time buyer market have changed over the years, including criteria for eligibility and affordability, First Time Buyer mortgages can be secured both quickly and easily.

Guiding you from start to finish

Providing the deposit is the first major step in your home buying journey, and being able to put down a larger deposit will enable you to choose from an array of lenders, helping you to secure a more attractive mortgage deal. Mortgages are available for first time buyers with a deposit as little as 5% but we will advise you on the best way to approach buying your first home. We can also offer advice on how to improve your chances of being approved for a mortgage before you apply, along with advice on the best way to save for that all-important deposit.

We believe that first time buyers need care and attention to guide them through the process from start to finish, along with our expert advice. Your dedicated mortgage broker at Derngate Wealth Management will be with you every step of the way, calculating exactly how much you can borrow, finding the right deal for you and calculating what your costs will be.

Ready to buy your first home?

  • The more deposit you can put down on a property the better the mortgage deal you’ll be eligible for.
  • Check your credit score and ensure the information is correct. If anything has adversely affected your score, we can advise on how to rectify this and improve your score.
  • How much can you afford each month? If you are embarking on home ownership make sure it is affordable - take into account all of your monthly outgoings including luxuries and hobbies.
  • Any debts will be taken into account when you are offered a mortgage, so we advise trying to reduce these before application.
  • Before deciding on an area in which to live, check the local amenities, public transport links and school catchments if you have children.
