At Manchestermoneyman, we regularly face various scenarios when speaking to First Time Buyers in Manchester. Below we have collaborated a list of popular First Time Buyer scenarios, just to name a few:
We often find when we contact a First Time Buyer who is maybe only just starting in the process that the chances are they will want to find out the maximum amount they can borrow for a mortgage.
We offer customers an estimated quote on our mortgage calculator page for how much you could borrow for a mortgage based on your financial position, but not your personal situation. However, this will only be a rough estimate. If you want to know the exact amount, speak with one of our Mortgage Advisors in Manchester today.
Another perk of using a Mortgage Broker in Manchester like ourselves that will serve you well is that you will receive the support and guidance of our mortgage advisors during the entire process.
Our trusted team of mortgage experts can obtain your mortgage agreement in principle on your behalf, which we aim to try and provide you one within 24 hours of your initial appointment.

Before you start making any offers, it’s always best to speak with a Mortgage Advisor in Manchester first. As soon as you get your offer accepted on the home, we can progress with your mortgage application.
With the help of a Mortgage Advisor in Manchester, they will be able to look and see if you are eligible for a mortgage, following on with obtaining your AIP for you so that you, the homebuyer, can back up any offers you put down.

In most cases, our team can get you a mortgage agreement in principle within 24 hours of your mortgage appointment. An AIP can show the seller that you are ready and can go forward with the process.

Your free initial mortgage consultation in Manchester will last roughly one hour. A dedicated advisor will then recommend a mortgage for you, with no obligation to accept and go forward and proceed with the mortgage in question, if you decide that it is not for you.
As trusted Mortgage Advice professionals in Manchester, we will carry out a Fact Find to establish your personal needs before we go ahead with recommending the most suitable mortgage for your situation. From there you will be credit checked, which is a requirement to obtain an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, you can be issued a formal mortgage offer.
We recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle prior to property viewings in Manchester, in order to avoid potential disappointment. At the very latest we would suggest that you obtain one before you make any offers, to put you in a better bargaining position. As a dedicated Mortgage Broker in Manchester, we are typically able to obtain an agreement in principle within 24 hours.
Generally speaking, an Agreement in Principle will last for between 30 and 90 days, depending on the lender that is used. If your Agreement in Principle expires before you can make use of it, it can be easily refreshed by speaking to your advisor.
If you’re looking to achieve something like debt consolidation or home improvements, you may be able to place a second mortgage on your home. If you’re looking to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let, a second mortgage on that property may also be an option.
A high street lender will typically require you to put down at least 5% of the property purchase price for your deposit. If you have had credit problems in the past, this may be higher.
If you have struggled with credit problems in the past, you may still be eligible for a mortgage, though a lender may possibly require you to put down a higher deposit than expected. This can be something like 15% of the property purchase price.
Submitting at least one year’s accounts moves you along the process, allowing for you to potentially obtain a mortgage in Manchester. Most lenders will utilise your salary plus dividend to calculate the maximum mortgage amount you are eligible to borrow, whereas some other lenders will go off your net profit.
In order for an employee to prove their income, it’s usually 3 payslips and the last 2 years’ accounts if you are self-employed. You will also need to provide some proof of ID, address and the last 3 months’ bank statements.
The free initial mortgage consultation that we offer generally lasts up to around an hour. We are then able to turn around an agreement in principle within 24 hours of that appointment. A formal mortgage offer takes, on average, somewhere around three weeks.
A telephone test call where we can take some initial details and find out about your plan of action.
Obtain an Agreement in Principle to support any future offers you wish to make. Now the fun starts, enjoy finding a property!
Make an offer on the property you set your heart on – we’ll finalise your figures and help you to get a good deal.
Our mortgage recommendation. We’ll try to find you the best mortgage deal. We’ll be there to support you, right through to you getting your keys.
