First Time Buyers

Independent Mortgage Advisers

Purchasing your first home can be a daunting prospect. Concept Mortgages will be able to take you through the home buying process step by step.

Before you even view a property, we can work together to establish what level of income you can comfortably afford to spend each month.

We would calculate a realistic budget by deducting your typical monthly outgoings from your monthly income which would in turn allow us to calculate how much you can afford to spend.

Once we have established how much you are able to purchase for, we can then obtain a provisional agreement from a lender to see whether you are able to borrow the money.

When you have had an offer agreed on a property we will search the market to find you the best mortgage for your circumstances and complete the necessary paperwork on your behalf. We will be on hand throughout the process to offer help and advice as your purchase proceeds right up to the day you move into your first home.

Make your first step towards your new home by either calling or emailing us via the contact us link and we will be able help guide you towards achieving your goal of home ownership.

The table below shows some examples of the different mortgages that we offer.


Buying a first home is a significant milestone for many people, and it’s also likely to be one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. In the UK, first-time buyer mortgages are designed to help make homeownership more accessible for those who are taking their first steps onto the property ladder.
First-time buyer mortgages typically offer lower interest rates and require smaller deposits than traditional mortgages, making them more affordable for those with limited savings or income. Many lenders also offer additional incentives, such as cashback or assistance with legal fees, to help first-time buyers with the upfront costs associated with buying a home.
There are several types of first-time buyer mortgages available in the UK, including fixed-rate mortgages, variable-rate mortgages, and tracker mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages offer a fixed interest rate for a set period of time, typically between two and five years, providing stability and predictability for borrowers. Variable-rate mortgages, on the other hand, have interest rates that can fluctuate over time, which can be beneficial if interest rates go down but can also be a risk if rates rise.
Tracker mortgages are linked to the Bank of England’s base rate and typically have lower interest rates than fixed-rate mortgages, but the interest rate can rise and fall with the base rate. It’s important to consider all these options and their associated risks when choosing a first-time buyer mortgage.
In addition to the traditional mortgage options, there are also several government-backed schemes available to first-time buyers. One of the most popular is Help to Buy, which offers equity loans and shared ownership options to help first-time buyers purchase a home. The equity loan scheme provides a loan of up to 20% of the property’s value, while shared ownership allows buyers to purchase a share of the property and pay rent on the rest.
When applying for a first-time buyer mortgage, it’s important to have a good understanding of your budget and financial situation. This includes knowing your income and expenses, as well as your credit score and any outstanding debts you may have.
It’s also important to consider the additional costs associated with buying a home, such as stamp duty, legal fees, and valuation fees. Many lenders will offer assistance with these costs, but it’s important to understand all the costs involved before committing to a mortgage.
Working with a mortgage broker or financial advisor can be helpful when navigating the first-time buyer mortgage process. They can help you find the best mortgage deal for your needs and assist with the application process.
It’s also important to remember that a mortgage is a long-term commitment, and it’s important to consider the affordability of the mortgage payments over the entire term. This means factoring in any potential changes in income or expenses over the years, as well as the possibility of interest rate rises.
Overall, first-time buyer mortgages can be a great option for those looking to take their first steps onto the property ladder. However, it’s important to do your research, understand all the costs and risks involved, and work with a professional to make an informed decision.
