Aldermore commercial director of mortgages Charles McDowell (pictured) said the lender’s latest research showed one in three potential first-time buyers (35%) believed buying their first home would be an extremely difficult process, with raising a deposit their biggest concern.
“While there is no quick fix to address the housing crisis, we listen carefully to customers and brokers to ensure our products give first-time buyers the best possible options in a challenging market,” he said.
“This is why we are proud to announce reduced rates and new products across our high LTV and Help to Buy mortgage ranges.
“These latest changes will support those with smaller deposits looking to reach the first step on the housing ladder,” he added.
