How Much Deposit Do First-Time Buyers Typically Have?

There isn’t one set deposit amount for first-time buyers.

In many cases, deposits tend to fall within a range depending on circumstances, such as:
• Savings built up over time
• Support from family
• Property price and location

Some buyers may have smaller deposits, while others put down more to access different options.

The key is understanding what works for your situation and what may be achievable before you start viewing properties.

When Should You Start Looking at Remortgaging?

Many homeowners wait until the last minute to think about remortgaging.

In most cases, it makes sense to start reviewing your options around 6 months before your current fixed rate ends.

This gives you time to:
• Compare rates properly
• Secure a new deal in advance
• Avoid moving onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR)

Most lenders will allow you to lock in a new rate ahead of time, which can give certainty and reduce pressure as your current deal comes to an end.

Planning early usually means more options and fewer surprises.

Remortgaging in 2026? Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

If your current mortgage deal ends in 2026, it’s worth reviewing your options well before the end date.

Most lenders allow remortgage discussions up to six months before your deal finishes. Starting early can give you more choice, reduce pressure, and help avoid ending up on a higher standard variable rate.

A review doesn’t commit you to anything, but it can give you clarity on what’s available and when action may be needed.

What Lenders Actually Look At Going Into the New Year

When lenders assess a mortgage application, they’re not just looking at one number or one document. They’re reviewing the full picture, including:

- Income consistency and sustainability
- How credit has been managed over time
- Existing financial commitments
- Where the deposit is coming from

Understanding what lenders actually assess can help avoid wasted applications and unnecessary declines.

Defaults on your credit file? Don't panic! 😮

A default is more serious than a missed payment, but it absolutely doesn't mean a mortgage is off the table. Lenders look at several key things:

🗓️ How recent the default is.

💰 The amount involved.

✅ Whether it's settled.

The good news? As defaults age and your recent credit conduct improves, specialist lenders take a more flexible view! If you still owe money, settling the debt can even strengthen your application.

We're whole of market, meaning we can access every deal available to find the most suitable option for you.
