 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I honestly don’t know how I would have got through buying my first house without John.

From the very beginning, he helped us work out what we could afford and get our Agreement in Principle sorted, but his help went way beyond just arranging the mortgage. While we were viewing houses, he was always happy to give his thoughts on whether an asking price seemed sensible and what we might want to offer. His experience and knowledge were incredibly valuable when we were trying to navigate something we knew very little about.

Once we found our house, John made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly quick to respond, explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer my many questions!

What really impressed me was how much he handled himself. He dealt directly with the estate agent, solicitors and lender, meaning we weren’t constantly stuck in the middle passing messages around. If an issue came up, he’d often just sort it in the background and let us know there was an issue but it's resolved, rather than adding to our stress.

John genuinely cares about his clients and it really shows. He’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always made us feel like we were in safe hands.

I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Five stars doesn’t really do justice to how much he helped us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker than John. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, making what initially felt like a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable.

John’s communication was outstanding throughout. No question was ever too big or too small, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the entire mortgage process with complete confidence. I never once felt stressed or under pressure, which made such a difference as a first-time buyer.

His knowledge and expertise are second to none, and he was able to secure me a fantastic mortgage deal. I genuinely felt that he had my best interests at heart every step of the way.

I can’t recommend John highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to helping their clients, he’s the person to go to. Thank you, John, for making such an important milestone such a positive experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  When I arrived in the UK, I had only been here for 3 months. I was on a spouse visa, had very little UK employment history, and other mortgage advisers told us that getting a mortgage would be extremely difficult or even impossible.

From the first conversation, John gave us confidence. He explained exactly what we needed to do and told us that the most important thing was getting my first few payslips and building my employment record. He had a clear plan from the start.

What I liked most was how honest and straightforward he was. He always answered our questions, kept us updated, and made the whole process easy to understand. Nothing ever felt too much trouble.

John didn't just help us get a mortgage. He advised us on properties, helped us understand what was a good purchase, guided us on what offer to make, and even helped us find solicitors. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us buy the right home, not just getting the mortgage approved.

In less than 4 months, John achieved what two other mortgage advisers told us was impossible. We now have a mortgage offer and are buying our first home together.

The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support.

If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else.

Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.

New build mortgages

There’s no shortage of reasons to buy a new build home; they’re modern, energy-efficient, can be built to your specifications and there’s something special about knowing you’re the very first person to live there. It’s easy to see why new builds are becoming the ‘go to’ choice for everyone from first time buyers and young professionals, to growing families and retirees. But, if you want to buy a new build home, you’ll need a new build mortgage.

At Everest Mortgage, we’ll guide you through the process of getting a new build mortgage, helping you to navigate lenders’ criteria, deadlines and deposit requirements.

What is a new build mortgage?

If you’re buying a new build home, you’ll need a new build mortgage. This is a mortgage used to buy a property that has been built – or significantly renovated – within the last two years, and has never been lived in or sold before. These homes are usually built by major developers and they’re in high demand, with buyers quickly snapping them up as soon as they hit the market.

Though new build mortgages are similar to traditional mortgages, there are often additional hoops to jump through, especially if you’re buying an off-plan property. This is why it’s helpful to work with an expert broker, like Everest Mortgages.

How does a new build mortgage work?

A new build mortgage isn’t vastly different to a standard fixed rate mortgage or flexible mortgage, but there are some nuances to be aware of. As many new build homes are sold off-plan – meaning you agree to buy the property before construction is finished – the property isn’t fully complete at the time of application, so lenders can find it more challenging to carry out an accurate valuation. This means they sometimes ask for a larger deposit.

There’s also the issue that many mortgages for new builds aren’t valid for as long, usually around six months, which can become an issue if there are unexpected delays. This is something the Everest Mortgages team can help you with.

Why are new build mortgages slightly different?

Some lenders see new build properties as being riskier to lend on. This is due to the fact that the property values can drop if the developer releases many homes at once, and because off-plan builds can face delays, meaning mortgage offers expire before they’re used.

This doesn’t mean getting a mortgage on a new build is difficult, it just means it’s important to apply to lenders who understand the new build market. This is something we can guide you on.

We search 1000's of mortgage deals across a large number of lenders, including...

5 reasons buyers love new builds

You don’t have to worry about moving in and immediately being faced with home improvement demands, as new builds are built to spec. This means you can select the home that ticks the right boxes.
There’s no denying that new kitchens and bathrooms can be expensive, and you’ll have to cover this cost if you move into a property in desperate need of upgrades. With a new home, the kitchen and bathroom are brand new.
Many new build estates are built close to local amenities, and some even have their own purposely built for residents to use. This includes shops, schools and roads.
There’s a lot of design freedom that comes with buying a new build, especially when it comes to fixtures and fittings. You can choose the finishing touches that suit your taste.
As the home is brand new, there’s no onward chain. You don’t have to worry about a seller causing delays and slowing your moving journey down.

How to apply (and be approved for!) a new build mortgage

Find out how much you can borrow

Before you do anything else, speak to a mortgage broker and find out how much you can borrow. This is based on affordability, which looks at your income, outgoings and credit history.

Find your dream new build property

Look for a property that works for your lifestyle and budget, paying close attention to living space, the number of bedrooms and garden size. Once you’ve found your dream home, you can put an offer in and cross your fingers it’s accepted.

Get a mortgage agreement in principle

Working with your mortgage broker, you need to get a mortgage agreement in principle. You can then submit your mortgage application to the lender.

Go through the legal process of buying

Once your application has been accepted, you go through the standard legal process of buying a property. As long as there aren’t any delays, you’ll be a proud homeowner and able to move in once the new build is complete.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a bigger deposit for a new build mortgage?

Yes, you will usually need a slightly larger deposit to buy a new build home. Most lenders prefer you to have a deposit of around 10% to 15%, and low deposit mortgages are less common. This is because new homes can be seen as riskier due to potential for the property valuation to change after completion.

Can first time buyers get a new build mortgage?

Yes, and many first time buyers purposely seek out new build properties. New build mortgages can be a good way to get on the property ladder.

What is an off-plan property?

When you buy a new build home off-plan, it means you’re buying the property before it’s fully built. You might even be buying before construction has begun. This gives you access to brand new homes early.
