Glossary - Understanding Industry Terms
As the name would suggest, a first-time buyers mortgage is a mortgage that is specially designed for those who are new to the housing market. An individual is typically categorised as a first-time buyer when they are purchasing their primary residence for the first time and have no previous ownership of a freehold or leasehold property, either within the UK or internationally.
These are just a few questions that our Exeter team get asked about when it comes to first-time buyers mortgages:

How much mortgage can a first-time buyer get?

How much deposit do I need for a first-time buyers mortgage?

Can I be a first-time buyer again?

How difficult is it to get this type of mortgage?
If you have any more questions about this topic, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our mortgage advice team. We are based in Exeter but can set up a video call should you not be able to meet us in our offices.
