Like
all financial products, mortgages can be very confusing.
Be
very wary about signing up to a deal which may trap
you into something you'll find it hard to get out of. This
applies to whether you're a first time buyer or not.
Make
sure that the mortgage
term is only for 2 or 3 years and that if you
need to end the agreement before then, any penalties
are not too severe- unless you've done your research
and located a long-term deal with a very good interest rate.
It's
good that you're doing some research by reading this website.
You can save thousands of pounds by shopping around
and choosing your mortgage with a bit of care.
You
don't need to do a degree in mortgages to avoid paying through
the nose. Just read this website a bit
and don't be impressed by any salesman's jargon. There's
a whole industry out there which stays fat on people's ignorance,
fear and apathy of financial products. But don't despair.
A little knowledge goes a long way.
Jargon
is often used by people who either don't know what they're
talking about and are scared to admit it or are trying to
con you by blinding you with science.
So
shop around and never be afraid to ask "stupid
questions".
Finally,
bear in mind that, as a first time buyer, you are in a
stronger position than ever before. Many mortgage lenders
are waiting for you to give them your money. They want to
make it as easy as possible.
At
the end of the day, the mortgage business needs you as much as you
need them.
