Can I apply for a first-time buyer mortgage?

As long as at least one person applying has never owned a property before, you can apply for our first-time buyer mortgages. You also have to be at least 18 years old, and you must pay off your mortgage before you reach 75. If you’re taking out a joint mortgage, it’s the age of the oldest person that’s taken into account.

Generally, you’ll need 10% deposit, but we may offer special deals if you have less. See our mortgage offers If you buy a new-build – that is, a property built less than six months ago, you’ll need to have at least 20% deposit.
