Best 5 Year Fixed Rate First Time Buyer Mortgage

First time buyer five year fixed rate mortgages are those that are specifically aimed at first-time buyers and are fixed for five years. They’re typically available at 95% LTV, meaning that buyers need only provide a 5% deposit to get their foot on the ladder. Not only that, but these mortgages are ideal for new buyers who are keen to manage their finances over a longer period by knowing exactly how much their mortgage will cost them each month for half a decade. Five-year mortgages often come with a higher rate than shorter-term deals – particularly at higher LTVs – however they have the advantage of fixing the rate (and therefore repayments) for longer, so for many, the trade-off is worth it.

When choosing the right five year fixed rate mortgage as a first time buyer it is important to decide if this term is the right option, keeping in mind that better rates could be found by fixing for a shorter period. If a five year term is the right choice then it is important to look at all areas of the mortgage deal including the rate, any initial charges and whether flexible features (such as payment holidays) or incentives are included in the package to decide if it is the right choice for your circumstances.
