Mortgages

We have a dedicated financial team in to assist with any mortgage advice you may need! Click here for more details.

  • Mortgage Types: Fixed-rate mortgages offer stability with consistent payments, while adjustable-rate mortgages may start lower but fluctuate with market conditions.
  • Interest Rates: Securing a favorable interest rate can save you thousands over the life of your loan. It's worth shopping around and negotiating for the best rate.
  • Deposit Requirements: Typically, a higher deposit means better loan terms and lower monthly payments. Aim for at least 10-20% of the property's value.

First-Time Buyer Programs: A Helping Hand

The UK government offers several schemes to assist first-time buyers:

  • Help to Buy: Equity loans available for new-build homes, with only a 5% deposit required.
  • Shared Ownership: Purchase a share of a home and pay rent on the remaining portion, making it more affordable to get on the property ladder.
  • Lifetime ISA: Save for your first home tax-free, with the government adding a 25% bonus to your savings.

Preparing for Approval: Strengthening Your Application

A strong mortgage application can make all the difference. Here's how to enhance yours:

  • Credit Score: Check your credit report for errors and work on improving your score by paying bills on time and reducing debt.
  • Employment Stability: Lenders favor applicants with steady, reliable income. Aim for at least two years of consistent employment history.
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio: Lowering your debt-to-income ratio demonstrates to lenders that you can manage your finances responsibly.

What Our Customers Say...

The Agency was proactive Entrepreneur Breed 03/02/2025
I needed a house quickly for me and my two children as my old landlord was selling the house at such short notice. Alice from the horbury brand was so understanding and helpful trying to make things as quickly as possible. Always phoning me to give me updates which in past cases I normally have to chase the agent! She has been really quick with replies and honestly being so helpful. I feel super lucky she was dealing with my tenancy for me. The most helpful person and has contacted me since to make sure everything is ok. She definitely deserves recognition for being fantastic at her job! X Rebecca 03/02/2025
Our experience with Richard Kendal (or Karen Marijewko) has been absolutely brilliant. Karen has been a great help with advising us on what needs doing, ensuring smooth communications between ourselves and others and even advocating for ourselves when things weren’t going smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for all help and guidance during this time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. Sadie 03/02/2025
