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.

Anybody interested in learning more about this amazing opportunity to fund a property purchase for a lower monthly cost than renting  should in the first instance contact Chris Collins at Thornley Groves Chris.collins@thornleygroves.co.uk or 0161 905 0207

The strategy of stimulating the housing market by providing a direct incentive for First Time Buyers to step on the ladder was announced in today’s budget.

 All first time buyers buying a property with a value up to £250,000 will save up to a maximum of £2,500 that they would otherwise have paid to the government in tax. For those buyers struggling to save for a deposit, that will be a massive help. One of the key things we have yet to find out is how long the suspension of this tax for first time buyers will last. If the stamp duty holiday is for a limited period, it will drive first time buyers to take action now; if there is no timetable within which first time buyers have to make their move, it will have little impact.

Meanwhile The Chancellor has confirmed that the tax on properties being purchased at or above £1 million will increase from its current level of 4% to 5%. Many harbingers of doom are saying that this will be a blow to the housing market, but we would argue that it is not a blow. A buyer paying £1,000,000 for their new home was already going to have to pay £40,000 in stamp duty and is now going to have to pay an extra £10,000, probably less than the price of the home cinema they wanted to install.

Meanwhile many vendors keen to sell property at £1 million or above may be more than willing to reduce their selling price by £10,000 to achieve a sale, so it may not cost the buyer any more. However, the effect is a positive one.Buyers and sellers at the top end of the market will be helping first time buyers buy at the bottom and without this activity then none of the market can move forward. After all there are far fewer buy to let investors buying property to release first time sellers to move up the housing ladde, so we need first time buyers to come in and release these first time sellers to drive the middle and upper levels of the market.

All in all, we at Thornley Groves welcome this change; some pain at the top of the market but the revenues will be used to fuel the flames that are needed to make the housing market warm up again, and that is good for carpet sellers, kitchen companies, conservatory sellers, and the raft of businesses that supply products and services to individuals whose expenditure on such items peaks at those times in their life when they move home. With a more active housing market the whole economy will benefit.
