Buying your own home can be a huge achievement as you take on one of the largest financial commitments of your life.
Taking that first step on the property ladder as a First Time Buyer can be a little daunting. Along your journey, you will have an expert Mortgage Advisor in Liverpool by your side to help you obtain the keys to your dream home.
The amount of deposit you need should be a minimum of approximately 5-10%, this will vary depending on how well your credit score is. A common drawback for young First Time Buyers is that they don’t have a strong enough credit score to begin with.
We tend to find as an experienced Mortgage Broker in Liverpool that First Time Buyers who have a credit score will usually have a good one. If you are in this position, it’s possible that you have access to a higher loan-to-value (%), like a 90-95% mortgage.
Despite this, there is some cases where a First Time Buyer has a lower credit score. This can limit the amount of access you would have to lower loan-to-values which means you will need to put down a much larger deposit, usually upwards of 15%. By doing this, the lender can reduce the risk by lending less to you overall.
Another factor that can vary the deposit is the price of the property you are looking to purchase. Your mortgage amount is a percentage of the property price.
Luckily, there are other government mortgage schemes that can be helpful for those who struggle to meet the minimum requirement for a deposit required. Therefore, as a First Time Buyer in Liverpool, this could be an option for you!
The following are just a number of popular mortgage schemes that you may have access to;
– Help to Buy: Equity Loan Scheme
– Help to Buy: Shared Ownership Scheme
– First Home Scheme
– Lifetime ISA
These schemes will require you to meet the criteria before you can access them. Therefore, we recommend you visit the government OwnYourHome website which can provide further information regarding these schemes. Get in touch with an expert Mortgage Advisor in Liverpool who will go through each scheme with you.

As your Mortgage Broker in Liverpool, our first job is to carry out a Fact Find on you to get a bigger picture of your personal and financial situation, so that we can recommend the most suitable mortgage for you. In order to obtain an Agreement in Principle, you will also need to have a credit check performed on you. Once you have provided all the relevant evidential documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, a formal mortgage offer can be issued.
Your free mortgage consultation with Liverpoolmoneyman will last around an hour. After your details have been taken, a Mortgage Advisor in Liverpool will then search through thousands of mortgage deals to find a perfect matching deal for you. Once we recommend the deal, you can decide whether to proceed with us or not, it’s completely up to you!
We always recommend that you obtain an Agreement in Principle before you start viewing properties in Liverpool, as they can potentially put you in front of other buyers who don’t have one. Lenders will like the fact that you have prepared before making an offer.
An Agreement in Principle typically remains valid for between 30 and 90 days, but this can change depending on your lender. If your Agreement in Principle expires it can always be refreshed. A Mortgage Broker in Liverpool like us can usually get one sorted for you within 24 hours within your application.
Yes, you can get a second mortgage. You can take out a second mortgage for your current home for things like debt consolidation and home improvements. It is also possible to take out a second mortgage for another property if you want. Usually, this situation comes about when people are interested in a holiday home, are buying for a friend/family member or want a Let to Buy or Buy to Let.
The minimum deposit when buying a house in Liverpool with high street lenders is typically 5%. You will rarely find lenders that will accept a minimum of less than 5%. This minimum can be higher if you have had bad credit in the past.
It is possible but it can be a bit tricky though. When you have had previous credit problems your minimum deposit that is required could rise, we have seen it at 15% before. Having a Specialist Mortgage Broker in Liverpool could really help you get back on track in situations like these.
After you have proven at least one year’s accounts to your lender, you should be able to get a mortgage. Most lenders in Liverpool will use your salary plus dividend to work out your maximum mortgage, however, some can go off your net profit.
If you’re an employee, you will usually have to supply three payslips in order to prove your income. If you are Self Employed in Liverpool its normally the latest 2 years’ accounts. You will also need to produce proof of ID, address and 3 months’ bank statements.
