I have a flat in my name only valued at £64.5k with a £30k mortgage. I am recently married and my wife and I would like to purchase a house. As she does not and has never owned a property, is it possible to get a FTB mortgage in our joint names?

I am not a first time buyer but my partner is- can we get a FTB mortgage?

Most lenders wouldn’t consider letting you have a product specifically for first time buyers if you are already a homeowner, and particularly so if you are to be the first named applicant on the mortgage.

First time buyer vs next-time buyer

Some lenders do offer deals that are solely for first time buyers, however many don’t differentiate and the rate is the same whether first or next-time buyer.

If you’d like to find out more about what options may be open to you, then please call us on 023 8235 2300.
