Getting your first mortgage
Buying your first property is extremely exciting and one of life's milestones for many people. Arranging the mortgage to finance your first home may not be quite as thrilling but it is incredibly important you get it right.
Your mortgage is likely to be the biggest financial commitment you ever make, and also the longest, so you want to get it right first time. The good news is that there are many types of mortgage to choose from, but the choice alone can be bewildering and the jargon does not always help. So contact us today for no obligation, impartial advice. We can provide advice over the phone or face to face, whichever suits you best.
Determining what you can borrow
It's important to ascertain what you can afford to borrow. Lenders have moved away from the old 'income multiple' approach to lending so rather than offering you four times your annual income for example, they take a more detailed look at your overall finances to see what you can afford each month on your mortgage payment. Lenders look at what you spend as well as what you earn, giving you what is effectively a personalised offer based on your circumstances.
We can determine a realistic figure of how much you can borrow and what you can afford to repay, but we'll also look at different scenarios for instance if interest rates were to go up in the future as it's important to be sure you could afford higher monthly mortgage repayments too.
