Overview
Introduction
With first time buyers finding it especially difficult to get on to the property ladder, UK
mortgage lenders are designing original and creative mortgages to support them. What products do
first time buyers respond to? What makes them successful? What are the products of the future? This
brief provides the key answers to how UK mortgage lenders can perform better in the first time buyer
market.
Scope
- Provides analysis of the implications of the marginalisation of first time buyers for the
housing market as a whole.
- Explores the UK mortgage market to profile and critique its most innovative products for first
time buyers.
- Gives insight into the future of this market and how mortgage lenders, government and property
developers could respond.
Report Highlights
Traditionally, first time buyers accounted for between 45 and 55 per cent of total UK mortgage
advances. They now account for less than 30 per cent. The housing boom of the last few years
combined with a surge in buy-to-let investment has made it increasingly more difficult for first
time buyers to be able to afford a property.
Shared ownership is perceived as downmarket because of its connection with social housing.
Nonetheless, the concept offers real potential as a product for the private sector. Shared equity
loans do pose risks to lenders and borrowers, but if improved, they could be a profitable product
that would cater to otherwise excluded first time buyers.
With first time buyers having trouble funding a deposit, more are looking to purchase a home with
friends and partners. Joint ownership is a way for home buyers to share the deposit, mortgage
payments and bills of a new property. Nevertheless, the mortgage carries crucial disadvantages and
complications could arise if a co-owner wants to leave.

CHAPTER 2 THE FIRST TIME BUYER PROBLEM IN CONTEXT
- First time buyers: a dying breed in the UK mortgage market?
- First time buyers are victims of the housing boom
- Average advances and deposits for FTBs have increased in line with housing inflation
- Regionally, the North and West are catching up quickly
- First time buyers also struggle with additional costs associated with purchasing a property
- As a result, FTBs are getting older and staying at home longer
- Buy-to-let investors have compounded the problem
- Buy-to-lets growth has coincided with decline in FTBs
- Is buy-to-lets growth a result of the FTB problem or part of the cause?
- Government initiatives are focused on key workers not FTBs
- The Government is now starting to address housing shortages
- The Key Worker Living Initiative gets a new start in 2004
- The Homebuy scheme cannot help everyone
- Shared Ownership strengthens demand for housing, rather than helping to alleviate the problem
- 1.8 million Right to Buy sales in Great Britain
- The Government has started to show an awareness of non-key worker FTBs
- Governments refusal to reform stamp duty compounds the problem facing FTBs
- Are there lessons to be learnt from similar markets abroad?
- What are the implications for the industry?
- A lack of FTBs entering the market causes disequilibrium
- Remortgaging and buy-to-let have kept the market moving so far
- Will FTBs re-enter the market if prices come down?
- Mortgage lenders have had to change their product offerings to attract FTBs
- Ultimately, lenders have had to chase other business
- Remortgages and buy-to-let schemes have increased greatly
- As a consequence, there are relatively few lenders offering specific FTB products
- Do those FTBs that have entered the market in recent years represent a greater risk to lenders?
- How does the situation today compare to that just prior to the last market crash?
- Self-certification mortgages are dangerous for FTBs
- Rising income multiples
- Is default possible?
- Conclusions
