First Time Buyers

Buying your first home can be confusing at the best of times with so many different lenders offering different deals and rates.

We provide an easy to understand no jargon service when it comes to buying your first home, and commit to being there with you every step of the way throughout your journey, whilst trying to keep it easy and simple all of the time.

We provide advice and support for all types of First Time Buyers:

  • Struggling with a deposit? We have access to a wide range of low deposit mortgage deals—including 5% deposit options—and will explore every opportunity to help you get on the property ladder sooner.

  • Buying a share of a property and paying rent on the rest? We’ll help you understand how shared ownership works and match you with lenders that specialise in these agreements.

  • If you're a council or housing association tenant with the opportunity to buy your home, we’ll help you understand your discount entitlement and find the right mortgage for your situation.

  • If you’ve had financial difficulties in the past, don’t worry. We work with lenders who consider applicants with less-than-perfect credit and can help you understand your options and improve your chances of approval.

Here’s what you can expect from your first consultation with us:

At Dream Casa, we know that buying your first home in the UK can be overwhelming—especially if you're not sure where to start. That’s why we’ve created a step-by-step consultation process designed to support and guide you from the very beginning.

  • You'll book a meeting so we can understand your situation—whether you’re ready to buy now, in 6 months, or even in a year. This call helps us tailor the guidance to your specific timeline.

  • We’ll go through:

    • How much you can borrow

    • What deposit you’ll need

    • How your visa, credit history, and income will affect your mortgage options

    • We explain everything in simple terms—no jargon, no pressure.

  • This is your chance to ask anything—from “What is a mortgage?” to “Can I buy with someone else?” or “Is it better to wait or start now?” We’ll give honest, helpful answers based on your goals.

  • If you’re not quite ready to buy yet, we’ll help you:

    • Get financially prepared

    • Understand what documents you’ll need

    • Build a savings or deposit plan

    • Improve your credit position if needed

  • When the time comes to start house hunting, we’ll help you get your Agreement in Principle and be with you through every step—making offers, applying for your mortgage, dealing with solicitors, and finally getting your keys.

You’re Never Alone in the Process. We’re known for our step-by-step handholding, especially for foreign nationals and first-time buyers. You’ll always have someone by your side—explaining, guiding, and supporting you all the way.
