Expert Guidance for First-Time Buyers Solution

Buying your first home should be an exciting milestone, not an overwhelming one. That’s why we’ve created a First-Time Buyer’s Guide to walk you through the process and make your journey as smooth as possible.

Schemes to Support First-Time Buyers

There are several schemes available to help you get on the property ladder:

Mortgage Guarantee Scheme: Enables you to secure a mortgage with just a 5% deposit.

Lifetime ISAs (LISAs): Save towards your deposit with a 25% government bonus.

Right to Buy: Buy your council home at a discounted rate.

Joint Mortgages: Boost your borrowing capacity by applying with a family member.

First Homes Scheme: Purchase a new-build property at a reduced market price.

Our team will guide you through these options and help you make the most of the available opportunities. A first-time buyer is someone who has never owned property before, either in the UK or abroad. At *A Mortgage Shop*, we specialize in helping first-time buyers navigate the mortgage process and take advantage of available benefits, such as Stamp Duty relief.

First-time buyers can avoid Stamp Duty on properties depending on purchase price, which can significantly reduce the upfront costs of purchasing a home. Our advisors will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand every step and secure the best mortgage deal for your circumstances.
