THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT

Here is what West Bromwich Building Society has to say:

"

Buying a house is one of the most important purchases you will make, and buying a home for the first time and finding the right First Time Buyer Mortgage will be an even more daunting prospect. Add to this the vast array of mortgage products available from a wide range of sources, and you are left with a high-stress, confusing decision.

Like all financial products, mortgages can be very confusing. (Some would say this is deliberate, just to twist more money out of suckers like us).  Be very wary about signing up to a deal which may trap you into something you'll find it hard to get out of. This applies to whether you're a first time buyer or not.

There are a number of companies who offer very competitive First Time Buyer Mortgages.  Remember to compare different mortgages, and always seek professional financial advice.  Use one of our Free Mortgage Calculators to compare different mortgages.


Here are some useful tips for first-time homebuyers:

  • Know how much you can afford to pay. This includes not only the total price of the house, but the monthly payments, as well. Do not be fooled by the monthly amount the lender tells you that you can afford; that number is usually high enough to be well beyond most buyers' comfort zones. If the lender suggests that you can pay as much as $2000 per month but you only feel comfortable paying $1500 per month, then that is your limit. You should buy a house that will allow you to pay that amount, and no more.
  • Check your credit ahead of time. No one wants to be denied a home loan because of errors on your credit report. You can check it for free at annualcreditreport.com. Get a copy and make sure the information is accurate.
  • Shop around for a good lender. The interest rates and terms will vary from lender to lender, so you should seek out the best terms. Additionally, you should try to find a lender with whom you feel comfortable. You will be paying on your mortgage for decades to come, so find a lender and terms with which you are comfortable.
  • Be aware of closing costs. The amount of money that a buyer is expected to bring to closing can be astonishing. Don't be caught off guard when it come time to close and the lender asks you to bring a certified check for $15,000 that you do not have. Find out ahead of time exactly how much it will cost you to close on the loan and have those funds ready.

    Most of these items will seem like common sense, especially to those who have financed a house before. But anyone who is buying a home for the first time should be prepared for the process. By being prepared, the process should go smoothly.
