YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

First-Time Buyers


Buying your first home can be easy when you’ve got us on your side. We're here to make owning your own home a reality. It can feel like a big step, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful one. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We're here to help

Think buying your own home is out of reach? Don't worry, there are ways we can help you get on to the ladder.

Icon for 5% Deposit Mortgages
5% Deposit Mortgages

If saving a big deposit is tough, we offer mortgages from 95% LTV - meaning you only need to put down 5%, and we can lend the rest. LTV simply means the portion of the property’s value you borrow.

Icon for Boost your mortgage
Boost your mortgage

With a Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgage, you can add a family or friends to your mortgage to boost what you can borrow. Their income helps, but you remain the owner of the property. 

Icon for Get a Head Start
Get a Head Start

Our Head Start Mortgage helps First-Time Buyers get on the property ladder, allowing a family member to offer additional security on the mortgage, helping buyers secure a home sooner.

Why choose us...

We're here to help first-time buyers feel confident as they begin their journey onto the property ladder. Chatting with a mortgage adviser early on can give you an idea of how much you can borrow and what you need to save.
 
It's our mission to help Members buy their home, even if their situation is unusual; so come chat to us for free to get yourself mortgage ready!
