First Time Buyer Mortgages

A stable housing market needs first time buyers to have access to mortgages. All homeowners have at some point been first time buyers and this purchase is what gets everything moving. As long as there is sustainable income, the applicant is suitable risk and the property being purchased is sound security, there are good reasons for lenders to produce attractive products.

First Time Buyer Mortgage

Having said that, it has never been so difficult to purchase your first home and equally as difficult to fund that purchase via a mortgage. Since the financial crisis of 2008/09 the disparity between what banks will lend and the deposit amount required by borrowers themselves has grown.

Another factor is that lenders have tightened their criteria surrounding income multiples. Gone are the days of 100% mortgages and 6x salary calculations. Post credit crunch the combination of large deposits and tight income multiples meant a hard slog for first time buyers.

Over time, interest rates have stabilised, job creation is on the up and a fresh emphasis on the housing sector has wetted the appetite of lenders for higher loan to value mortgages, more flexible affordability criteria and as a result things have changed.
