When you are ready to start your application for a mortgage, the mortgage lender will look at your affordability. They will review your annual salary and any other income you have, along with what comes out of your account.
They will also check your credit history and make sure that you are managing your finances, all to find out the maximum amount you may be able to borrow. Your deposit will also be a factor in determining which mortgage deals are available to you.

Using this knowledge that we have, we are then able to take a look at your income, expenditure, and credit history, in order to recommend the absolute best mortgage deal for your circumstances.
Usually, mortgage lenders will require a minimum of 5% of the property price. Even though most high street lenders look for 5%, if you’ve had credit issues in the past, you may be asked to put down a larger deposit.

There are a variety of first time buyer mortgages in Middlesbrough that may be available, each varying in how they work. The most commonly encountered first time buyer mortgage is a fixed-rate mortgage, where you fix in your interest rates for a length of time, usually 2-5 years, to protect against interest rate rises.
There is also a tracker mortgage. If the Bank of England base rate goes up, so too does your interest rates. If the rate goes down, then it will do that also. Discounted variable rates are an option that could be cheaper, though if a lenders SVR changes, your interest rates will change.
Lastly, there’s an offset mortgage. This gives you an interest-free, flexible savings account to offset against the mortgage balance. The more in your savings, the less interest you pay on your mortgage.
To learn more about the different types of mortgages available to you and to find out which one is the most suitable, please book online and speak to a qualified mortgage advisor in Middlesbrough.

Yes, a first time buyer can get a buy to let mortgage, though this will depend on the mortgage lender.
We tend to find, a mortgage lender will only offer buy to let mortgage deals to existing homeowners. Whilst not impossible, you would likely have an easier time applying for a buy to let mortgage if you already owned your own home, as it provides a track record of being able to keep up your monthly mortgage repayments.
