Planning a first purchase from our home city.
The Peterborough-wide first-time buyer figure below is a starting point for comparing your own shortlist, not a minimum purchase price or borrowing target. A flat, a shared ownership share and a whole house require different budgets. Keep legal costs, any property tax and an emergency reserve separate from the deposit.
For a shared ownership purchase, work with the full property value and the share being bought as two different figures. Rent on the remaining share, service charges and any estate charges sit alongside the mortgage. Ask for the actual schedule of costs before deciding what is affordable.

Use this historical snapshot to frame questions about your shortlist, not to value a home or calculate what you can borrow. Actual property price, lender valuation, deposit, income and commitments need their own assessment.
Useful checks, before an offer.
Use these original sources to investigate your shortlist. Your conveyancer and surveyor should advise on the property; a mortgage adviser assesses borrowing and lender requirements.

Can I discuss a Peterborough mortgage before finding a property?
Yes. An early conversation can cover a starting budget, deposit and documents. A lender agreement in principle, if suitable, is subject to checks and is not a guaranteed mortgage offer.
Do you advise on shared ownership around Peterborough?
We can discuss shared ownership borrowing where appropriate, including the deposit, mortgage share, rent and service charges; lender and scheme criteria still apply.
