Eligibility Criteria for First-Time Buyers
Being a first-time buyer can mean that you may be eligible for particular mortgage products and incentives. To qualify as a first-time buyer in Sussex, you must be purchasing your very first home and not own any other property. Proof of income, a good credit history, and financial stability are key components that lenders will look for. Rest assured, our team will guide you on how to present your best self to potential lenders.
How Much Deposit Do First-Time Buyers Need?
Traditionally, lenders look for a deposit amounting to at least 5% of the purchase price of the property. However, having a larger deposit can open doors to more attractive mortgage deals. We can help assess your financial situation to determine how much you should ideally save, and guide you on reaching that target quicker while still maintaining your quality of life.
Types of First-Time Buyer Mortgages
As a first-time buyer, there is a range of mortgage options you might consider. Fixed-rate mortgages offer stability with consistent payments. Alternatively, a variable or tracker mortgage might suit if you’re comfortable with potential rate fluctuations. Deciding which type of mortgage best fits your lifestyle is an important decision—we’re here to weigh the pros and cons with you.
