First Time Buyer Mortgages Explained

If you are buying a house for the first time, you may not have a lot of money as a deposit, meaning the loan-to-value you need may be quite high. Our first time buyer Best Buys contain mortgages with high loan-to-value limits, typically 80% or higher.

As well as the mortgages in our first time buyer Best Buys, new homeowners can take out other types of mortgage as well. So it is still worth looking at our other Best Buys, such as two year fixed rates, three year fixed rates, five year fixed rates or variable rates.
