Getting started with homebuyer mortgages
A residential, or ‘homebuyer’ mortgage, is a loan taken out against a property that you plan to, or already, live in. You put down a deposit and borrow the balance up to the purchase price or valuation amount (whichever is lower). You then pay your lender back, with added interest, over a set period of time.
We know that your home purchase can be your biggest financial commitment, so we’re here to handle the hard work for you. Whether you’re ready to purchase your forever home, looking to save money on your remortgage, or even starting out as a first-time buyer, our experts are here to support you through the whole mortgage process.

How long does it take to get a mortgage?
It can take between two to six weeks to get a mortgage offer, but this all depends on how complex your mortgage application is and the recommended lenders service levels.
After you’ve secured your mortgage offer, it takes on average a further 6 weeks to complete and draw down your loan. Once again, this will vary based on the number of properties in the chain and any complications during the conveyancing and legal process of the application. Our expert mortgage brokers will be on hand to guide you through the entire process.
How much can I borrow?
How much you can borrow on a mortgage depends entirely on your individual circumstances. Lenders will want to review your income (or combined income if you’re purchasing with a partner or friend) to ensure that the mortgage is affordable for you. If you are a key worker you might even be able to access more competitive mortgage products from some specialist lenders.
As a general rule, lenders will offer around 4.5x the total applicant income, but our expert brokers may be able to help you access more. You can use our ‘how much can I borrow’ calculator for an estimate of what size loan you could access.
