Information For 1st Time Mortgage Buyers
Your first mortgage will be the most significant financial undertaking of your life so far, but how exactly do you go about getting a mortgage?
What are 100% Mortgages?
Most mortgage lenders will only offer a 90% loan to value, that means that they will only loan you 90% of the properties value. First time buyers find this particularly problematic because they need to save up there 10% of the properties value before they can complete on their mortgage.
What if I have mortgage arrears?
If you have mortgage payments that have not been made by the due date in accordance with the mortgage deeds, you will have gained a bad credit history on your credit report. This may hinder you when trying to obtain further credit such as a credit card, loan, or another mortgage.

I am close to being repossessed due to lack of payment on my current mortgage.

If you have a possession order it does not mean you will necessarily lose your home. For your home to be repossessed the court will have to acknowledge that there is absolutely no chance of you paying the loan back, and they will give you a number of opportunities to repay the arrears before granting a repossession. In many cases the possession order will be suspended or postponed – giving you the opportunity to repay the arrears within a reasonable time. If you find that you cannot keep to the payments ordered by the court you should seek further advice as soon as possible.

If it is clear to the court that you are unable to repay the arrears and are unlikely to do so within a reasonable period, you will lose your home. The court will notify you of the period within which you must leave the property, and if you continue to stay in the property after this date then you will be evicted.
