What Is a First-Time Buyer Mortgage?

A first-time buyer mortgage is a home loan designed specifically for people purchasing their first property. These mortgages offer favourable deposit rules, strong lending options, and supports that can make buying your first home more achievable.

If you’re wondering things like:

How much can I borrow?
Do I qualify for the First Home Scheme or Help to Buy?
What lender is best for me?
How do I even start the process?

 You’re in the right place. We explain everything clearly and guide you from start to finish.

What Do First-Time Buyers Need to Get Started?

Most first-time buyers need three things:

A deposit

usually 10% of the purchase price.

Proof of income stability

typically 3–6 months of payslips and bank statements.

Evidence of repayment ability

sometimes called “savings or rent history”.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure where you stand — we break it down, assess your position, and explain what’s achievable.
