Financial Times - First-time buyers struggle as mortgage products cut by 40%
The Financial Times reports there were 199 products on offer over the weekend for would-be buyers looking to borrow up to 95 per cent of the value of the property, down from 347 at the start of June 2022.
“The constant rate changes and ongoing market uncertainty is causing havoc,” said Aaron Strutt, director at Trinity Financial. “First-time buyers are struggling to access mortgages, especially if they have smaller deposits.”
