You’re Ready to Buy Your First Home. So Why Is Getting a Mortgage So Difficult?
Buying your first home should be exciting — not overwhelming. But if you’ve already started the mortgage process, you might be hitting unexpected obstacles.
Maybe a bank has told you that you don’t earn enough, even though your finances are in good shape. Or perhaps they’ve offered you far less than you expected. Some lenders might even have turned you down completely — making the process more stressful than it needs to be.
It’s Not You — It’s How Lenders Assess First-Time Buyers.
Many high street banks use a rigid approach when deciding how much you can borrow. They often focus only on your basic salary, ignoring bonuses, commission, or other regular income. And if you’re self-employed or on a fixed-term contract, they may see your income as unpredictable — even if it’s stable and reliable.
Student loans and limited credit history can also work against you. Some lenders treat student loans like traditional debt, reducing your borrowing power unnecessarily. And if you’ve never had a credit card or personal loan, you might not have the credit profile lenders want — even though you’ve always managed your money well.
The Right Lender Makes All the Difference.
At Bright Future Mortgage Advisors, we specialise in helping first-time buyers get approved — with less hassle and more confidence. We work with lenders who take a more flexible and realistic view of your financial situation. Whether you earn bonuses, are self-employed, or just don’t fit the typical mould, we’ll help you find a mortgage that suits your circumstances.
We also know which lenders are more understanding when it comes to student loans and limited credit history — so you can access the borrowing you need without unnecessary roadblocks.
