What you need to know

First time buyer mortgage advice in Salisbury made clearer

If you have never purchased a property before, it can be hard to know where to start. Many first time buyers are unsure what they can afford, whether lenders will accept them, how much deposit they need or which mortgage type may suit them best.

We can help you understand:

  • How lenders assess affordability
  • What documents you are likely to need
  • The difference between fixed, tracker and variable mortgages
  • Whether a 95% mortgage may be available
  • What the overall buying process looks like from offer to completion

Our aim is to break down the detail clearly, answer your questions and help you feel more confident in the decisions you are making.
