Important Information

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.

How much deposit do I need for my first mortgage? 

Currently, mortgage lenders will lend up to 95% of the value or purchase price, whichever is lower. This means you will be required to put a 5% deposit down, and the more deposit you can produce, often the better deal lenders will offer.

Don’t worry if you can’t produce this size of deposit. Coombes & Wright Mortgage Solutions can look at alternative ways of getting you on the property ladder, for instance, Shared Equity or Shared Ownership.

Are there any first-time buyer help schemes?

Several schemes are available to help people buy their first homes. These include Shared Equity, Help-To-Buy, Shared Ownership, Family Assisted Mortgages and Right-To-Buy. We will discuss all options with you and consider each in relation to your personal circumstances.

What type of mortgage is best for me?

Everyone’s circumstances, needs and financial situations are different. Therefore, you should consider the most suitable rather than the best. In addition, there are a variety of mortgage types available. For instance, tracker rates, variable rates, fixed rates, discount rates, offset mortgages and flexible mortgages. As an unbiased mortgage broker, we consider each option’s suitability for you.

Life Insurance and Protection Cover

At Coombes and Wright, we believe having appropriate protection cover is critical to safeguard the peace of mind of families and companies. Mortgage repayments are often your largest monthly outgoing. If you could not work due to illness or redundancy, repayments would still need to be met, or you could risk losing your home or property. In the eventuality of income vulnerability, critical illness or death, we check that you have adequate cover to protect you and your family.

  • Is your family adequately protected?
  • When did you last review your current cover?
  • Have you considered what might cause you to lose your income or home?
