Buying your first new home can seem daunting but it should really be an exciting and memorable experience. There’s a lot to think about. Our new First Time Buyers’ Club gives you all the information you need on the options available and the steps involved in the journey to owning your new home.
You’ll find tips and advice on everything from mortgages and deposits to house prices and incentives and you can also get personal advice from our panel of experts, including John Lewis and Money Expert.
If you’re struggling to raise a deposit, there’s also information on equity loan schemes designed to take the pressure off. FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% of the property price from the Government and the house builder, which means that buyers only need to put down a 5% deposit to qualify for a 75% mortgage. Plus you’ll still own 100% of your home.
