First Time Buyer's Questions Answered
Buying your first home can be daunting. Here are some common questions first-time buyers have, along with our expert answers to help you navigate the process with ease.
What is a first time buyer
A first-time buyer is someone purchasing a property for the first time, who has not previously owned a home or land, whether in the UK or abroad. This status can provide access to certain benefits like lower Stamp Duty or special mortgage rates.
Can first-time buyers rent their property?
Yes, first-time buyers can rent out their property; however, this may affect their mortgage terms. Some mortgages are specifically designed for owner-occupiers and may not allow renting without prior permission from the lender.
What is first-time buyer relief?
First-time buyer relief is a government initiative in the UK that reduces or eliminates Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) for first-time home buyers. It applies to properties valued up to £425,000, helping reduce the overall cost of buying a home.
Can a first-time buyer buy to let?
Yes, a first-time buyer can purchase a property to let, but they will need a specific “buy-to-let” mortgage. These mortgages usually require a larger deposit and have different criteria than standard residential mortgages.
How to buy a house as a first-time buyer in the UK?
To buy a house as a first-time buyer in the UK, start by determining your budget and securing a mortgage in principle. Research properties, find a reliable estate agent, and make an offer on a chosen property. Once accepted, arrange for a survey, complete legal checks, and finalise the mortgage before exchanging contracts and completing the purchase.
