At the Family Building Society we have two ranges of mortgages available for first time buyers.
Our Family Mortgage allows you to combine a 5% deposit (saved or gifted) with help from family members, to get on the housing ladder. It's a 95% LTV mortgage for first time buyers, but with a lower initial rate than you would normally see for a mortgage with a 5% deposit.
Help can come in the form of savings or family members can use the equity in their own property to contribute.
If you have more than a 5% deposit saved, that's ok. A 5% deposit is only our minimum. This means if you have a 10% deposit, you can still use the Family Mortgage, and instead your family members will need to offer you less help.
Alternatively, if you have at least a 20% deposit saved, we have a range of fixed and discount rate mortgages available which are suitable for first time buyers.
