There are many ways to get your feet on the first rungs of the property ladder. Here are a few options to consider:

Shared Ownership:

Securing a mortgage for shared ownership means you won’t initially own the entire property. This option allows partial ownership, with the remaining portion considered a rental, often in collaboration with a housing association. You can gradually buy out the rental portion as your status or income increases.

How much deposit?

To buy your first home you may only need a minimum 5% deposit. The more deposit you are able to place down will be reflect in a lower rate charged by the mortgage lender.

Right to Buy: 

Council tenants can purchase their homes at significantly discounted prices through this option. We’ll talk you through the process.

Your journey to homeownership begins here. Call us, and let’s turn your homeownership dreams into reality.

We cannot thank Ian and the team at Best enough for all their guidance and support in buying our first home. We weren’t sure where to start and the team guided us through the process very smoothly. Couldn't recommend more! Thanks Ian and Team from Charlotte and Ben
