1 First Time Buyer Index Q1 Report March 2017 aldermore.co.uk
2 First Time Buyer Index Q1 March Foreword House prices have continued to rise over recent months, despite expectations that the Brexit vote to leave the EU may cause prices to fall. This causes difficulties for first time buyers looking to get on the first rung of the housing ladder, in addition to rises in the cost of living and rock-bottom interest rates making it difficult to save. Our latest report underlines the struggle faced by first time buyers, and particularly the self-employed, who face further hurdles securing a mortgage. Around two thirds of the self-employed surveyed said they do not know how they will manage to get on the property ladder.this highlights the need for lenders such as Aldermore who can help first time buyers achieve their dreams. The first rung of the housing ladder seems increasingly out of reach, with the cost of homes in the UK increasing by around a fifth over the past three years. Raising a deposit remains the biggest difficulty for prospective first time buyers, particularly for those unable to rely on the help of family or friends. Fewer than one in five said that they could afford a deposit simply with their own savings. Around nine in 10 respondents felt buying a property is difficult, particularly in London. The end of the Government s Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme has disappointed many first time buyers. Our survey shows that around two in five would like to see this scheme reintroduced. This is despite lenders, including Aldermore replacing the Help to Buy Mortgage Guarantee scheme with like-for-like products. This highlights the importance of getting the message across. However, there is some positive news for prospective first time buyers. Latest figures 1 show that last year saw the highest number of mortgages for new homeowners since There are options to help those struggling to gather a deposit. For those looking to buy a new build, the equity loan element of Help to Buy is available until 2020, slashing the deposit needed to and offering interest-free loans for a further 20% from the government. There are also various products available from providers which are aimed at first time buyers including Aldermore s high LTV mortgage products that like-for-like replace the Help to Buy Mortgage Guarantee scheme for those who do not have a large deposit. We welcome the announcements in the Government s Housing White Paper, focused on tackling the housing crisis, and delivering more homes in the UK where needed. We hope to see more proposals going forwards to address the difficulties first time buyers face across the UK. Charles McDowell, Commercial Director, Mortgages 1.
3 First Time Buyer Index Q1 March Attitudes to buying a first property How do you feel when thinking about buying your first home? Two thirds (6) of prospective first time buyers feel that buying a home is unachievable for them at the moment, and 58% cannot see how they will ever be able to get on the property ladder. Around two thirds of self-employed respondents (62%) say they do not know how they will ever manage to get on the property ladder. More than half (5) of respondents say getting on the property ladder is expected of them at their age. Nearly one in five (18%) first time buyers say they are under pressure from their family to buy, while 18% say they are feeling the pressure from their partner. Buying a house is expected of me at my age I want to buy a house to put down roots I ve dreamt of having my own home 5 19% 66% 11% 7 9% My family are putting me under pressure to buy My partner is putting me under pressure to buy I want to buy because I will rely on my property to fund my retirement Renting is too expensive and a waste of money Buying a home feels unachievable for me at the moment I can t see how I ll be able to get on the property ladder 18% 59% 18% 48% 46% 20% 69% 12% 6 14% 58% 17% Net: Agree Net: Disagree

The number of respondents who are planning to use parental or family assistance for their deposit stayed around the same, at a quarter (26%) of first time buyers when compared to Q (27%). This varies across the regions, with 31% of those in London requiring financial assistance, compared with just 22% in Wales.

Three in 10 (30%) just want to see the process simplified.
