* Mortgage: This is the most common way to finance a property purchase in Wales. A mortgage is a loan from a bank or building society that you repay over a period of time, usually 25 years. The interest rate on a mortgage can be either fixed or variable.
* Joint mortgage: This is a mortgage that is taken out by two or more people, usually a couple. Joint mortgages can be advantageous if both borrowers have a good credit history and can afford the monthly repayments.
* First-time buyer mortgage: These mortgages are designed for people who are buying their first property. They often come with lower interest rates and/or smaller deposits than other types of mortgages.
* Help to Buy: Help to Buy is a government scheme that provides equity loans and shared ownership options to help people buy their first property.
* Right to Buy: Right to Buy is a scheme that allows council tenants to buy their council house or flat at a discounted price.
The best finance option for you will depend on your individual circumstances. It is important to shop around and compare different lenders before you apply for a mortgage.
