Interesting but disappointing that this looks like it will only be available on New Builds which are already priced at a premium.

The prime minister says he wants people without support from the "bank of mum and dad" to receive help.

Halifax has just launched a £5,000 deposit mortgage for first-time buyers — and it's a big deal.

For a long time, the deposit has been the thing standing between people and their first home. If you've been saving but felt like you were still miles away, this might change things.

Here's what the product looks like. You need a minimum of £5,000 saved as a personal deposit. The property needs to be under £300,000. There's no minimum income requirement, and it's open to both employed and self-employed buyers. It launches on Monday 18 May.

If you think this could be you, here's how we'd work together. We'd check whether you're eligible, look at what you can borrow, and get your mortgage in principle sorted so you can start viewing properties.

Get in touch however works best for you — call us, email, or come and see us in person at our Thame or Downley office.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

'Eilish has shown genuine care and attention throughout my journey as a first-time buyer. From start to finish, her advice felt personalised and tailored to my own circumstances. She was always prompt in responding to emails, and everything was clearly and thoroughly explained. I have really appreciated her support and guidance.'

Let’s talk about deposits.
If you’re hoping to buy a house in the next year or two, it’s much easier to save when you actually know what you’re working towards. Trying to save without a clear target can feel overwhelming and endless.

And remember, it’s not just the deposit you need to think about. There are other costs on top, such as legal fees, surveys, moving costs and, depending on the property, stamp duty.

Having a realistic idea of what you could borrow and how much you’ll need puts you in control. It turns a vague goal into a proper plan.

If you’re thinking about buying in the near future, book in for an initial chat and we’ll give you a rough idea of your affordability and what you should realistically be aiming to save.

For mortgage advice, your initial consultation with us comes with no obligation and no upfront costs. Should you decide to proceed, we charge a typical fee of £299, payable only upon application.

Is Spring the best time to sell your house?

Spring is often a great time to sell. Longer days and better natural light make photographs look brighter, and homes feel lighter and more inviting during viewings. Gardens are starting to bloom, adding extra kerb appeal and helping buyers picture themselves enjoying the space. There is also more activity in the housing market at this time of year.

If you’re looking to get move-ready, it’s important to understand your numbers before you list.

We can talk through how much you could borrow, the additional costs involved, and whether porting your current mortgage makes sense. If you have early repayment charges to consider, we’ll perform detailed calculations to determine the most suitable option for you. It can be a complex process, but we’ll guide you through it and make sure everything runs smoothly.
