Understanding the market for first-time buyers

The housing market presents unique challenges for first-time buyers. Here's what you need to know about the current landscape.

The First-time Buyer Challenge

First-time buyers face significant challenges in today's market. With rising house prices, saving for a deposit while paying rent is increasingly difficult. The average first-time buyer now needs to save for nearly 8 years to afford a deposit, compared to just 3 years in the 1990s.

Average deposit £53K for first home
Time to save 8 yrs for a deposit

Government Support for First-time Buyers

The UK government offers several schemes to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder. These include Help to Buy, Shared Ownership, and the First Homes scheme, which can provide significant financial assistance and make homeownership more accessible.

Help to Buy ISA 25% government bonus
Shared Ownership 25% minimum share
First Homes 30% discount on market value

Barriers to Mortgage Approval

Getting a mortgage isn't just about saving a deposit. Many first-time buyers are turned down due to credit history, income type, or lack of guidance. Understanding what lenders look for can help you avoid common setbacks and improve your approval odds.
