Common questions

First-time buyer FAQs

Most lenders look for a minimum 5% deposit, though a larger deposit usually opens up more options. For a £250,000 property, a 5% deposit would be £12,500. A mortgage adviser can talk you through what may be available based on your deposit and income.
Lender criteria vary widely, but many will consider lending around 4 to 4.5 times your annual income. Use our affordability calculator above for a rough indicative figure, or get started so a mortgage adviser can give you a proper assessment.
Schemes such as Lifetime ISAs, Shared Ownership and First Homes can help first-time buyers. Eligibility, terms and availability vary. A mortgage adviser can explain which schemes might be relevant to your situation.
Yes — a solicitor or licensed conveyancer handles searches, contracts and the transfer of ownership. A mortgage adviser can suggest conveyancers commonly used by their clients.
From mortgage application to completion typically takes 8–12 weeks, though it can vary significantly. Having a Decision in Principle in place before house-hunting often speeds things up.
A mortgage (or Decision) in Principle is a statement from a lender confirming how much they'd be willing to lend you in principle. It's not a guarantee, but estate agents often ask for one before accepting offers. Your adviser can arrange one as part of the advice process.
