We know that the thought of buying your first home and taking that leap of faith onto the property ladder can be quite daunting, and that’s why we’re here to help.
We’ve been helping first time buyers for over 20 years; we have the experience and the knowledge to get you through the mortgage process. Once you get in touch with one of our mortgage advisors in York, we can get your mortgage journey started.
Our vast catalogue of both high street and specialist lenders will help you find a competitive product.
We can search through 1000s of deals, trying to locate one that perfectly matches your personal and financial situation. A mortgage broker in York like us only has your best interest at heart, our aim is to also save you time and money.
You can book your own mortgage appointment online! Choose your date and time to speak directly with a mortgage advisor in York.
Although depending on various factors such as your credit score, as a first time buyer in York, you’ll usually require a minimum of 5% of the property purchase price.
Unfortunately, if you do have a low credit score, you may have to put down a higher deposit, e.g., 10%-15%.
If you are struggling to meet the minimum required deposit, you may need to look at other ways of getting onto the property ladder. There are many different types of government-led schemes that can help you out, some may be more suited to your situation than others.
For example, the Shared Ownership Scheme allows you to purchase a share of a property—typically between 25% to 75%—and pay rent on the remaining portion. This can be a practical option if saving for a deposit on 100% of the property value is proving a struggle for you.
If you want to get more information about the different schemes that are available, you should get in touch with our team. We know the ins and outs of every scheme and can check whether you can access any of them or not.
As your mortgage broker in York, we will start with a Fact Find. During this stage of the process, we will get a better view of your personal and financial situation which will help us when selecting a mortgage deal.
You will then have a credit check performed on you, this step is essential in order to obtain an agreement in principle. Once you’ve handed us all of the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been completed, a formal mortgage offer can be offered.
Your initial mortgage consultation will take around 30 mins, afterwards, we will try and arrange an agreement in principle for you within 24-hours of your consultation. The final step is submitting your application and waiting for a formal mortgage – this can take about three weeks.
As a mortgage broker in York, we always recommend trying to have an agreement in principle in place prior to viewing properties. An agreement in principle could put you in a position that would let you negotiate prices.

Once we are ready to do so, we can send your application off to the mortgage lender.
Now that you have submitted your mortgage application, all that is left to do is to wait for the mortgage lender's response!
Alongside the mortgage, we will recommend insurance products to protect you and your family in the future.
