You should give consideration to all of these things when considering whether you can actually afford to purchase a property. The mortgage payment may be the largest bill each month but it is just one of many to consider when purchasing a property.
There are also the up-front costs which a UK first time buyer has to consider such as stamp duty, arrangement fees on the mortgage etc. Speak to one of our qualified mortgage advisors who can talk you through all these costs in detail.
Other points to consider is the age of the property, if home improvements need to be made, What furniture you would like to have, etc. All of these factors, both from a fees standpoint and a luxury one, stand to be analysed with every first time buyer loan. |
