Frequently Asked Questions
How much deposit do I need to buy in Newport?
You can buy with as little as 5% deposit (e.g., £7,500 on a £150,000 property). A larger deposit of 10-15% will typically get you a better interest rate.
How much can I borrow as a first-time buyer?
Most lenders offer 4-5 times your annual income. For a couple earning a combined £50,000, that could mean borrowing up to £250,000. Book a free call for an exact figure.
