First-Time Buyer Mortgage
Buying your first home? Talk to us about finding the best mortgage for a first-time buyer
When you’re getting a foot on the property ladder, it helps to have an experienced first-time buyer mortgage broker by your side
Applying for a mortgage as a first-time buyer can feel overwhelming, as there seems to be so much information that’s required. And filling in those online mortgage applications on your own? Always a struggle.
At Oportfolio, we do everything we can to take care of the financial nitty gritty for you. And as an experienced mortgage broker for first-time buyers, we’re on hand every step of the way, as you start your exciting journey to be homeowners.
First-time buyer mortgages explained
One of the questions we’re always asked by first-time buyers is: what will it cost? Instead, we flip it round and look at what you can afford and the amount you want to spend each month on your mortgage repayments.
What interest rate you pay will depend on your deposit – usually 5%-10% – and your personal circumstances. There’s a choice to be made between fixed and variable rate mortgages, and the length of your mortgage too.
The aim is to maximise your borrowing potential, minimise your payments and ensure you can manage your mortgage throughout the lifecycle of your mortgage.
