Why Lower Mortgage Rates Are a Game-Changer for First-Time Buyers

Why Lower Mortgage Rates Are a Game-Changer for First-Time Buyers

For many first-time buyers, affordability has long been the biggest hurdle to homeownership. However, with mortgage rates on the decline, monthly repayments are becoming far more manageable. This shift is opening doors for buyers who are ready to take advantage of the changing market conditions.

They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too. But for many first-time buyers right now, falling mortgage rates are helping to prove otherwise.
 
On the average UK first-time buyer mortgage, monthly repayments are around £355 cheaper than they were three years ago. That saving can make the difference between simply scraping by and still being able to enjoy some of life’s little extras... whether that’s a holiday, hobbies, or just breathing room in the budget.
 
Of course, we know that buying a home still feels out of reach for some. Yet for those who are ready to take the leap, this shift in affordability is worth knowing about.
