Mortgages for First Time Buyers

The prospect of buying your first home could be both daunting and confusing. Our aim is to guide you through the process from start to finish so that you understand exactly what the purchase entails and how much it will cost.

The mortgage market changes all the time, not just in terms of mortgage deals and regulations but also in the way lenders assess loan applications.

Some of the changes have been in the way mortgage lenders assess the suitability of all clients for the different types of loans on offer. They base this decision on a variety of factors, primarily:

There is now more focus on affordability and expenditure. This is very different from the traditional approach of simply multiplying your annual personal (or rental) income by a pre-set multiple to obtain a maximum lending amount.

We pride ourselves on being up to date with regulation, legislation, and the economic market.

We understand your needs, match them to the requirements of lenders, and protect you and your dependants once you have bought your property.

This way, we help you save time and money in the new world of mortgage advice.

Getting on the ladder

A significant advantage to being a first-time buyer is that there is no chain, making a first-time buyer more appealing to sellers.

As we have access to many lenders, we are well-placed to assist you

At FairFirst Mortgages, our fee structure is designed to reflect the level of service and expertise we provide, while remaining transparent and fair to our clients. For a single client applying for a mortgage, our standard application fee is £495. For joint applications, the standard fee is £695. These application fees are non-refundable and cover the initial consultation, mortgage advice, research, and submission of your mortgage application.

In cases where the mortgage is more complex such as those involving specialist lending, adverse credit, self-employment, multiple income sources, or unique property types we may charge an additional fee. This fee is based on the level of complexity and the time and workload involved, ranging from 1% up to a maximum of 2% of the property value. This additional charge will always be fully discussed and agreed with you in advance, before we proceed.

For all fee arrangements, 50% of the total agreed fee is payable at the point of recommendation, once we present you with a tailored mortgage solution. The remaining 50% is payable upon receipt of your formal mortgage offer from the lender
