FTB New Mortgage Deal!

27th March 2024
Home > News > FTB New Mortgage Deal!

First-time buyers are being offered the chance to pay a modest £5,000 deposit and potentially borrow up to 99% of a property's value.

The mortgage from a lender we deal with is valid on places up to £500,000 and comes without a fee - but there are a few key exceptions.

It's not available for flats or new-build properties and would-be borrowers must pass strict affordability and credit scoring checks.

The task of saving for a deposit is one of the barriers that many first-time buyers struggle with as most lenders like a minimum 10% up front.

Your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it.
