As an open & honest mortgage broker in Durham, we have helped many first time buyers in Durham achieve their mortgage goals. Our service goes beyond just finding you the most suitable first time buyer mortgage.
Your dedicated mortgage advisor in Durham will be by your side throughout the process, answering any questions or concerns.
Currently, there are a selection of very helpful government own your home schemes designed to help first time buyers in Durham onto the property ladder.
For more information on these schemes, you can either navigate to our website’s guides section or visit the government Own Your Home website.
Our team of fast & friendly mortgage advisors in Durham are familiar with all the various government schemes that are currently available and will be able to help answer any questions you may have regarding any of these.
In addition to the savings you have accumulated for your deposit, it is important to consider various other expenses when planning to purchase a property.
These expenses include conveyancing and solicitor fees, property surveys, broker charges, and mortgage arrangement fees. Additionally, you should factor in costs such as stamp duty and insurance premiums, which encompass home, contents, or financial protection insurance.
During your free initial mortgage appointment, our designated mortgage advisor in Durham will discuss these additional costs in greater detail and address any concerns you may have.
To be eligible for a first-time buyer mortgage in Durham, it is necessary to have saved a minimum deposit of 5% or more for your initial home purchase. Furthermore, engaging a conveyancing solicitor is essential to oversee the legal aspects of the property acquisition process.
As a mortgage broker in Durham specialising in assisting first time buyers in Durham, we are committed to providing comprehensive support throughout the entire process. Our mortgage advisors in Durham are available to help you assess your eligibility and secure the most suitable first-time buyer mortgage option available in the area.
There are several types of mortgages specifically tailored for first time buyers in Durham, each with its own unique features.
Among the most popular options is the fixed-rate mortgage, which guarantees a consistent interest rate for an extended period, shielding you from potential rate increases. Alternatively, a tracker mortgage links your interest rate to fluctuations in the Bank of England base rate.
Discounted variable rates provide a more affordable alternative, but be aware that if a lender’s standard variable rate changes, your interest rate will also be affected. Lastly, an offset mortgage includes a flexible interest-free savings account, where the balance offsets your mortgage balance, leading to a lower interest rate.
The larger your savings, the more favorable your mortgage interest rate becomes. To gain a deeper understanding of the various mortgage types available and determine the best fit for your needs, you can schedule a free mortgage appointment online to speak with one of our experienced mortgage advisors in Durham today.
