Our first time buyer mortgage advice process
Step 1: We listen
It’s important for us (and you) to take the time to get to know each other and to make sure we understand what you would like to achieve. It’s a cliche, but no two people are the same. And we want to make sure our advice and service is tailored to you.
Step 2: Our initial thoughts
After that, we’ll provide you with some details. Things like how much we think you can borrow and what kind of loan to value lenders will be prepared to offer you.
Step 3: We search the whole mortgage market
We’ll then move on to search the entire mortgage market for you. In addition to negotiating you the best rate, we’ll take into account other things like lender service levels. It’s all part of having an expert on your side. We can even arrange an Agreement in Principal for you with a lender so you know exactly how much you can borrow.
Step 4: Completion
We finalise your mortgage and you get ready to move into your first home. Champagne is optional.

First Time Buyer Mortgages
Case Study
Case Summary
We were approached by a client (a Japanese citizen) that lived in Singapore. Her daughter was finishing her studies in the UK and starting work here shortly, with an intention to live and work here permanently. The mother worked for a large multi-national company and wanted to assist in any way she could.
Our Solution
We were able to obtain a UK High Street mortgage in joint names for the mother and daughter for a flat for the daughter to live in. Even though the mother will continue to live and work in Singapore.
