A survey of 1,034 UK first-time buyers has revealed a significant gap in awareness of the support available when buying a new-build home.

๐Ÿ“Š 2 figures stood out to us:

โ€ข 62% didnโ€™t know developers could offer incentives.โ€จ
โ€ข 53% said theyโ€™d have been more likely to consider a new-build if theyโ€™d known what was available.

๐Ÿ’ท So, what could developers offer?
The most appealing incentives included:โ€จโ€ข Deposit contributions or deposit matching โ€” 19%โ€จโ€ข Discounts on the purchase price โ€” 17%โ€จโ€ข Contributions towards stamp duty โ€” 14%โ€จโ€ข Help with legal fees โ€” 12%โ€จโ€ข Cashback on completion โ€” 10%โ€จโ€ข Access to reduced mortgage rates โ€” 9%

With the proposed Your First Home scheme also bringing attention to affordability, including plans for a 2.5% deposit and a government-backed equity loan, understanding the support available has never been more important.

The key takeaway? Donโ€™t assume the asking price tells the whole story. Developer incentives could help with some of the upfront costs, but the terms and availability will vary.

Bank stocks are falling. Could your mortgage be affected?

Reports suggest the Chancellor is considering increasing taxes on banks in the upcoming budget, prompting concerns about the potential knock-on effect for borrowers.

Historically, periods of rising borrowing costs and tighter financial conditions have put pressure on mortgage affordability.

๐Ÿ”‘ Homeowners remortgaging:
The rates available when your current deal ends could make a real difference to your monthly budget.

๐Ÿ“‰ Those waiting to buy:
Economic uncertainty can influence mortgage pricing, meaning the best time to buy isnโ€™t always as straightforward as it seems.

The takeaway? Donโ€™t base your next mortgage decision on headlines alone. A mortgage broker can help you prepare for your next move.

That โ€œgreatโ€ rate you spotted online? It might not be the best deal for you.

1. Lenders donโ€™t reward loyalty.

Just because youโ€™ve banked with the same provider for years doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™ll offer you the best mortgage rate. Lenders assess your circumstances and risk, not how long youโ€™ve been a customer.

2. The lowest rate might not mean the best deal.

Some mortgages come with hefty product fees that can eat into your savings. Always look at the total cost of the mortgage, not just the headline interest rate.

3. The right mortgage is about more than the numbers.

Your income, deposit, future plans and personal circumstances all matter. A deal that works brilliantly for one person might not be right for you.

Thatโ€™s where expert mortgage advice makes a difference

Mortgage mythbusters!!! (Get ready)

โŒ Myth 1: You need a 20% depositโ€จMany lenders accept as little as 5%, and there are schemes designed to help first-time buyers get on the ladder sooner.

โŒ Myth 2: Bad credit means no mortgageโ€จA few missed payments in the past doesnโ€™t automatically shut the door. Specialist lenders look at the full picture, not just your score.

โŒ Myth 3: Self-employed? Forget itโ€จYouโ€™ll usually need 1โ€“2 years of accounts or tax returns, but being your own boss doesnโ€™t rule you out.

โŒ Myth 4: Your own bank will give you the best dealโ€จYour bank only offers its own products. A broker can compare deals across the market to find what actually fits you.

โŒ Myth 5: Getting an Agreement in Principle will hurt your creditโ€จMany lenders use a soft search at this stage, which wonโ€™t affect your score, and having one shows sellers youโ€™re serious.

๐Ÿก Big news for first-time buyers!

The UK government has announced a new scheme called Your First Home. Itโ€™s expected to let first-time buyers in England buy qualifying new-build homes with just a 2.5% deposit, backed by a 20% government equity loan.

Thereโ€™s an initial interest-free period, which the government says could save hundreds of pounds a month compared to a 95% mortgage.

โš ๏ธ Thereโ€™ll be income and property price caps, and the full details are due at the Budget
