First-time buyer mortgages made simple
Buying your first home doesn't have to be complicated. At CLR Financial Services, we provide clear, honest mortgage advice to help first-time buyers secure the right mortgage with confidence.
If you're unsure about deposits, affordability, or where to start, we'll guide you step by step.
We help you understand:
- How much you can realistically borrow
- What deposit you'll need
- Which mortgage options suit you
- How the buying process works
Remortgage advice – clear options, informed decisions
A remortgage can help you review your current mortgage and ensure it continues to meet your needs, particularly when your existing deal is coming to an end.
You may wish to review your mortgage if:
- Your fixed or discounted rate is ending
- You want to review your monthly payments
- You're considering raising funds for home improvements
- Your circumstances or future plans have changed
Moving home? We can help
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, we can help you understand:
- How much you may be able to borrow
- Whether your existing mortgage can be ported
- What mortgage options may be available
- How the timing of a move may affect your mortgage
Our role is to provide advice and support tailored to your personal circumstances.
Mortgages for adverse credit
Having a history of adverse credit does not automatically mean a mortgage is unavailable. Many lenders consider applications individually, taking into account the type, severity, and timing of any credit issues.
Adverse credit may include:
- Missed or late payments
- Defaults
- County Court Judgments (CCJs)
- Debt Management Plans
- Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs)
- Bankruptcy (historic)
Self-employed mortgage advice
Being self-employed doesn't mean getting a mortgage is out of reach. Each lender has its own criteria. When reviewing an application, lenders may consider:
- Net profit (sole traders and partnerships)
- Salary and dividends (limited company directors)
- Contract income (contractors, subject to criteria)
- Length of trading history
- Consistency and sustainability of income
Mortgage advice is subject to eligibility and lender criteria. A fee may be charged for mortgage advice.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Protection advice – protecting what matters most
Taking out a mortgage is a long-term financial commitment. Protection insurance can help provide financial support if your circumstances change due to illness, injury, or death.
Types of protection we advise on:
- Life insurance – pays a lump sum on death or terminal illness diagnosis
- Critical illness cover – lump sum on diagnosis of a specified serious illness
- Income protection – regular income if unable to work due to illness or injury
Protection insurance is subject to eligibility, underwriting, and policy terms and conditions.
