95% Mortgages Available for First Time Buyers

Buy for a lower monthly Cost than renting without having to have tens of thousands of pounds of deposit saved.

In an exclusive deal with a leading Building Society, Manchester Estate Agents Thornley Groves have access to a substantial fund set aside specifically for First Time Buyers aged 25 years and older to be used on purchases of between £125,000 and £250,000.

Jason Watkin, Operations Director of Thornley Groves Estate Agents which has 8 offices across Manchester City Centre and South Manchester, including prime First Time Buyer territories such as Sale, Urmston, Salford, Altrincham and Manchester’s trendy Northern Quarter, confirmed that for the last few years First Time Buyers have been prevented from getting on to the housing ladder by the strict criteria adopted by most lenders where buyers need to have circa 25% saved as a deposit before lenders will even look at their application.

Jason commented that Sales volumes  in Manchester City Centre and the suburbs have picked up noticeably year on year, sales in the city centre are running at twice the level of this time last year, mainly due to a reduction in prices and the fact that the market has clearly stabilised, another factor is that the cost of renting has increased dramatically during the last year as fewer new build properties have been built and sold to investors and many tenants are choosing to renew their existing lease as they’ve been unable to buy, this creates a shortage of supply and has fuelled huge rises in rental values. Buying now, even after factoring in the prospect of interest rate rises is substantially cheaper than renting.

It’s easily possible to buy a property and pay less in mortgage payments than you would if you were renting the same property, the barrier until now was that most buyers didn’t have access to a £30k plus deposit, but now with this particular mortgage deal first time buyers with a deposit of just six or seven thousand pounds buyers can get on the ladder.

The Hale branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents recently listed an end terrace house with an asking price of a quarter of a million pounds and exactly 40 days later the buyer that was found after just 2 weeks of marketing had exchanged contracts to purchase the house.

This quick sale at a premium price demonstrates that quality properties in the right locations will sell. More over the sale illustrates the ability of Thornley Groves to use its extensive database of ready willing and able buyers and match their specific criteria to properties that come on its books so that sales can be agreed with the most suitable buyers in very short time frames.

Continued reports that the housing market, although recovering remains sluggish seems to be deterring potential sellers from bringing their homes to the market, buyers are definitely on the hunt again, the very low level of fresh stock in the local market has created an unexpected opportunity for certain home sellers to find buyers at prices they only thought they could hope for and in time frames that surprise them!
