First Time Buyer Mortgage Advice in Sunderland

How much deposit do I need for a first time buyer mortgage in Sunderland?

The amount of deposit needed will depend on your credit score. As a common rule, we tend to find, as a mortgage broker in Sunderland, that first time buyers in Sunderland usually have a good credit score, which in turn may give you access to much better mortgage rates and put down a lower deposit, possibly as low as 5% of the purchase price.



Alternatively, for first time buyers in Sunderland with a rather low credit score, you may only have access to much higher rates and be required to put down a higher deposit, somewhere maybe within the area of 10-15%.



Your deposit amount will also be different depending on the type of property you’re looking to buy. If your property is more expensive, you may need to put down a larger deposit.

Are there ways to help me get onto the property ladder in Sunderland?

If you are finding it quite challenging to reach the minimum deposit that is required, you may be able to use one of the government mortgage schemes. These schemes were introduced as a means of helping first time buyers find success in their home owning dreams.



The schemes available currently include the various Help to Buy Schemes, Shared Ownership Scheme, Mortgage Guarantee Scheme, the First Home Scheme, as well as a handful of others. Every one of these schemes is designed with the intention of helping home buyers get onto the property ladder in some way. You’ll still need to qualify, which is where a mortgage broker in Sunderland can come in.



For additional mortgage advice in Sunderland for first time buyers in Sunderland, as well as explanations of the available government mortgage schemes, book your free mortgage appointment with one of our mortgage advisors in Sunderland. They’ll be able to help you check eligibility and apply for your mortgage.

On top of the deposit you saved, the other costs involved include: conveyancing and solicitation costs, property surveys, broker fees, and mortgage arrangement fees.



You may also have a stamp duty to consider, as well as any insurance you can take out to protect you, your home and loved ones.



Your dedicated mortgage advisor in Sunderland can discuss all the costs invovled in greater detail during your free initial mortgage appointment.

What do I need to buy my first home in Sunderland?

Accorion Arrow

As a mortgage broker who helps first time buyers in Sunderland, we are here to help you, every step of the way. Our mortgage advisors in Sunderland can help you check your eligibility and get you the most suitable first time buyer mortgage in Sunderland based on your circumstances.

What type of first time buyer mortgages can I get in Sunderland?

Accorion Arrow

There are loads of options for first time buyers in Sunderland, and plenty of mortgage types available, each different from the rest. The most popular mortgage for first time buyers in Sunderland, is a fixed rate mortgage, where you fix your interest rates for a long time to protect yourself from interest rate increases.



There is also a tracker mortgage. If the Bank of England the base rate increases, so do your interest rates. If the rate drops, it will also do that. Discounted variable rates are cheaper, but if a mortgage lender’s SVR changes, your interest rates will also change.



Finally, there is an offset mortgage. This gives you an interest-free, flexible savings account to compensate for the mortgage balance. The greater your savings, the less interest you pay on your mortgage.

Common First Time Buyer Mortgage Scenarios

What will my costs be? How much can I borrow in Sunderland?

Accorion Arrow

Many first time buyers in Sunderland wonder how much they can borrow and their monthly costs.



Your mortgage advisor in Sunderland will provide a rough estimate on this, giving you a more precise picture.

I’ve seen a property that I like – What’s the next step?

Accorion Arrow

The next step we recommend is to obtain an agreement in principle, which you may also see being referred to as a decision in principle, mortgage in principle, DIP or AIP.



Having an agreement in principle means that you have passed the lenders initial credit check.



One of the bigger benefits to this document, is that it shows the seller that you’re in a more significant position to progress if they accept your offer, putting you ahead of other buyers.



Usually, a member of our mortgage advice team can turn around an agreement in principle within 24 hours of your initial appointment.

My offer got accepted, and I will like to proceed with my mortgage application?

Accorion Arrow

Speak to your mortgage broker in Sunderland to give them the good news. We will progress your mortgage application and deal with all the paperwork on your behalf.



If we encounter any hurdles, your expert advisor will have come across something similar in the past and know what to do to end up with a favourable outcome.

My bank turned me away, can I still get a mortgage?

Accorion Arrow

We often hear from first time buyers in Sunderland who have been turned away from their bank for a variety of different reasons.



Our team of specialist mortgage advisors in Sunderland will work hard to find a solution for any issues you may face during your process.
