Are you looking to buy your first home in Scotland? Congratulations on taking this exciting step! Whether you’re eyeing a charming flat in Edinburgh, a townhouse in Glasgow, or a cozy cottage in the Highlands, we’re here to help make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

At The Mortgage Information Centre, based in Hamilton and serving the west of Scotland, we understand that buying a home for the first time can feel daunting. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our experienced team of mortgage brokers is here to provide the guidance and support you need from start to finish. We have extensive knowledge of the Scottish property market, especially in the west of Scotland, and we’ll work closely with you to find solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Getting Started

Before diving into the home-buying process, it’s essential to understand your finances. Consider your savings, credit score, and monthly budget. Our brokers can help you determine how much you can afford and how to make your application as strong as possible.

Once you have a clear understanding of your financial situation, we’ll explore the various mortgage options available, from fixed-rate to variable-rate mortgages, explaining each type’s pros and cons and which might suit your situation. Additionally, the Scottish Government offers several schemes designed to assist first-time buyers, such as the First Home Fund and Help to Buy (Scotland). We’ll help you navigate these options.

With pre-approval secured, it’s time to start searching for your dream home. We’ll support you through this journey, providing advice on negotiating offers, completing paperwork, and preparing for closing day. After an offer is accepted, we’ll guide you through the remaining steps, including arranging a solicitor, conducting surveys, and completing all necessary legal requirements.
