First Time Buyer Mortgages

Take the first step towards getting on the property ladder.

At Sturgess Mortgage Solutions, we specialise in helping first-time buyers take their first steps onto the property ladder. With over 50 years of combined experience in Financial Advice, Property, and Estate Agency, we are perfectly positioned to guide you through the entire process, ensuring a stress-free and seamless experience.

Helping You Secure Your Dream Home

We don’t just arrange mortgages – we go the extra mile. Our team will negotiate and place your offer with estate agents or vendors on your behalf, ensuring you get the best possible deal for your dream property. We’ll also explain the home buying process in detail and answer any questions you may have along the way.

Finding the Right Mortgage for You

One of the most important steps in buying your first home is understanding how much you can borrow and what mortgage options are available to you. Our expert advisers will:

✅ Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing potential
✅ Explain the different types of mortgages and repayment options
✅ Advise on the benefits of longer mortgage terms, raising a larger deposit, and selecting the best lender for your needs

Many lenders offer exclusive deals for first-time buyers, including lower arrangement fees, cashback incentives, and free property valuations. Our team will ensure that you benefit from the best available offers.

Key Factors to Consider

When choosing your first mortgage, there are several important factors to keep in mind:

  • Fixed vs. Tracker Rates – Deciding how long to fix your rate for or whether a tracker mortgage suits you better
  • Deposit Size – A larger deposit can give you access to better interest rates
  • Lender Criteria – Different mortgage lenders have varying eligibility requirements and customer service standards

Our expertise ensures that every aspect of your mortgage offer is carefully considered, from flexibility in lender acceptance criteria to how they treat their customers.

A Fast & Hassle-Free Mortgage Process

We understand that securing your first home is time-sensitive. That’s why we work with lenders who offer fast processing times, ensuring your mortgage offer is ready as quickly as possible. This puts you in the strongest position to secure your chosen property without delays.
