Some commonly asked questions and answers

A first-time buyer mortgage is a home loan designed for people purchasing their first property. It typically requires a smaller deposit, often as low as 5%, and in some cases, you may even find options with no deposit at all

As of now, first-time buyers in England and Northern Ireland benefit from the following stamp duty relief:

  • No stamp duty on the first £300,000 of the property price for homes costing up to £500,000.
  • For properties priced between £300,001 and £500,000, you pay 5% on the portion of the price that exceeds £300,000.
  • If the property costs more than £500,000, the standard stamp duty rates apply, and you will not qualify for any first-time buyer relief.

In Scotland, first-time buyers pay the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), with a tax-free threshold of £175,000. Any amount above this is subject to tax rates starting from 2%.

In Wales, the Land Transaction Tax (LTT) applies, and first-time buyers only pay tax on properties priced over £180,000. There is currently no specific relief for first-time buyers in Wales, but the tax structure is similar to that of Scotland.

If your mortgage is nearing its end, it’s advisable to contact our remortgage advisors at least five to six months beforehand. This timeframe allows us to assess your situation, see what your current lender might offer to keep you, and compare it with other options on the market. It’s crucial not to automatically renew with your existing lender, as some may initially offer attractive rates but not the best options when it’s time to renew. This could lead you to a more expensive deal that no longer fits your financial needs, especially if your circumstances have changed.

A home mover mortgage is a type of loan for people who are moving to a new home. This includes those who are selling their current property as well as those who want to keep it, turning it into a buy-to-let (BTL) investment or gifting it to their children. If you’re moving, you can use the money from selling your old home as a deposit for your new one.
