Getting Started

It’s one of the most exciting things you’ll do. But there’s so much to think about when buying your first property – especially getting a mortgage.

It’s not just about getting the best rate. Here’s what you need to know, including saving for your deposit and the help available to buy your first home.

Here are the main things you need to know about mortgages. By understanding your options, you can make the right choice and plan well for the future.

What you need to know

  • Your needs are unique. That’s why it’s important to know how mortgages work and the options you have available.
  • There are different costs involved when buying a home. You can prepare for this by budgeting properly. If you need any help, we have a budgeting tool to get you started.
  • Your mortgage should suit your needs. That’s why choosing the right mortgage is so important. For example, you may want the security of a fixed interest rate. Or you may prefer a variable rate where the amount you pay could fluctuate each month.
  • There’s lots of help available for first time buyers. For instance, the Help to Buy Scheme or the Help to Buy ISA could make it easier to get your foot on the ladder.
We don’t tend to publish mortgage rates on our website. In most cases rates are negotiable and based squarely on the individual circumstances of the borrower, their plans, assets and income.
