First Time Buyer Boost mortgage

With our First Time Buyer Boost mortgage, you could borrow up to 22% more than we could normally lend you.

How does it work?

  • At least one person applying must be a first-time buyer.
  • You must have a deposit of 10% or more.
  • The total household income of everyone applying must be a minimum of £50,000.
  • We’ll boost the amount we can lend you by up to 22%.


For example:

If you have a total household income of £50,000 and a 10% deposit, the most you could borrow is £224,500.

With our First Time Buyer Boost mortgage, you could borrow up to £275,000.
