Residential Mortgage FAQs

How much deposit do I need for a first-time buyer mortgage?

Most lenders require a minimum 5-10% deposit, though 15-20% will unlock better rates. Some government schemes like Help to Buy (now closed to new applicants) allowed 5% deposits. The more deposit you have, the lower your interest rate will typically be.

Can I get a mortgage with bad credit?

Yes, but options are more limited and rates higher. Specialist lenders consider CCJs, defaults, missed payments and even discharged bankruptcy. The severity, amount and age of credit issues affect what's available. A specialist broker can help navigate this.

How much can I borrow?

Typically 4-4.5x your annual income, though some lenders go to 5x or higher for higher earners or certain professions. Affordability also considers your outgoings, debts and commitments. Use a mortgage calculator for an estimate, but a broker can confirm actual borrowing power.

What's the difference between fixed and variable rates?

Fixed rates stay the same for a set period (2, 3, 5 or 10 years) giving payment certainty. Variable rates can change - trackers follow Bank of England base rate, while SVR is the lender's own rate. Fixed rates are currently more popular for budget predictability.

How long does a mortgage application take?

Typically 4-6 weeks from application to offer, though it can be faster or slower depending on complexity. Having documents ready (ID, payslips, bank statements, proof of deposit) speeds things up. Exchange to completion adds another 2-4 weeks typically.
