First-time buyer mortgages

In this short article we take a quick look at First Time Buyers Mortgages

  • The average mortgage for a first-time buyer across the UK is just shy of £194,000, as FTB numbers fell 29% in the first half of 2020 versus 2019.
  • The average deposit for a FTB is now £47,059, purchasers requiring a mortgage at 80% LTV. There are 52% fewer 80%+ LTV products available on the market now than in March, 12% fewer than in July.
  • FTBs accounted for over half of all house purchase loans in 2019, but these purchasers have been more significantly affected by the impact of COVID-19.
  • FTBs will be helped in future by continuation of the government's Help-to-Buy scheme until March 2023 and the introduction of government backed 95% LTV mortgages. Source: Dataloft, Moneyfacts, Halifax

In towns like Attleborough and across the UK, millions of homes boast two or more unused bedrooms—a surprising reality that cuts to the heart of the country’s housing debate.

Most homeowners would like to sell their homes for as much money as possible, and the best way to do that is by attracting potential buyers to come for a viewing. Could the key to a successful sale be before a viewer has even stepped inside??

Thinking of swapping stairs for space and single storey living? As more people prioritise family connections and practical living, bungalows have become the go-to choice for a wide range of buyers. But how much should you expect to pay—and where?
