First time buyer FAQs for Bexley

How much deposit do I need to buy in Bexley?
Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit, which on Bexley's average property price of £390,000 equates to approximately £19,500. A 10% deposit (around £39,000) gives access to more lenders and more competitive rates. We help you identify the right deposit level and lenders for your specific circumstances.
Is Shared Ownership available in Bexley?
Shared Ownership schemes are available across many parts of Bexley and can significantly reduce the deposit and mortgage required to get on the property ladder. We advise on Shared Ownership mortgages alongside standard mortgages so you can make an informed comparison of both routes before deciding.
Can I use a Lifetime ISA to buy in Bexley?
Yes, a Lifetime ISA adds a 25% government bonus on up to £4,000 saved per year and can be used on properties up to £450,000. Some properties in Bexley exceed this limit, so we help you plan your savings strategy alongside your mortgage search to ensure your LISA and mortgage timeline align.
What costs beyond the deposit should I budget for in Bexley?
Beyond your deposit budget for Stamp Duty Land Tax (first time buyers receive relief on purchases up to £500,000), solicitor and conveyancing fees (typically £1,500–£3,000), survey costs (£400–£1,500), mortgage arrangement fees if applicable, and removal costs. We provide a full cost breakdown during your initial advice session.
