First Class Mortgage Advice for First Time Buyers
We’ve tried to make First Time Buyer Mortgages easy to understand and quick to arrange. Essentially there are three things to consider when choosing your mortgage.
1. How do you want to repay what you've borrowed?
2. How quickly do you want to repay your mortgage?
3. What type of mortgage will suit you?
1. How do you want to repay what you've borrowed?
Choose between a Repayment, Interest-Only or Part and Part Mortgage:
Repayment Mortgage
Your monthly payments are made up of both interest and capital, so your mortgage is gradually paid off over the mortgage term (as long as you make your mortgage payments when they are due).
Interest-Only Mortgage
You only pay interest to your lender throughout the mortgage term and your mortgage balance doesn't usually reduce. At the same time, you put money into a separate investment, such as an ISA, which should grow and pay off the mortgage at the end of its term.
You must make sure you keep premiums up to date on any investment product you take out to pay off your mortgage. JXP Consultancy experts can provide you with more information about the options available but cannot give you advice on the most appropriate investments for you.
Part and Part Mortgage
A Part and Part Mortgage is where you combine a repayment with an interest-only mortgage. So part of your mortgage would be repayment, and the remaining part would be interest-only.

2. How quickly do you want to repay your mortgage?
25 years is the standard term to repay most mortgages, but you may have the option to spread it over a maximum of 40 years. This could help with budgeting early on and you could then reduce the term in the future. Please be aware by spreading your payments over a longer term, you may be lending into retirement. You will also need to have a suitable income to repay the mortgage.

3. What type of mortgage will suit you?
You can choose from a fixed rate mortgage or a tracker rate mortgage.
Fixed Rate Mortgage
If you want complete peace of mind, a fixed rate could be for you. Quite simply, the interest rate you are charged stays the same for a set length of time.
Tracker Rate Mortgage
If you think interest rates will stay low or go even lower, a tracker rate could be perfect for you. Our tracker interest rates are linked to the Bank of England base rate (also known as the Bank of England repo rate). Details of this rate can be found on the
Bank of England website. You will be charged an amount above or below this rate. This means the rate can go up or down.
