WHAT DOES FIRST-TIME BUYER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

First-time buyer

A first-time buyer is a term used in the British and Irish property markets, and in other countries, for a potential house buyer who has not previously owned a property. A first-time buyer is usually desirable to a seller as they do not have to sell a property, and as such will not involve a housing chain. There are many factors a first-time buyer may need to consider before purchasing their first property; how much initial cash they will need for stamp duty and any solicitors fees, and if they need to arrange a mortgage how much are they able to afford. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, home ownership is seen as a natural step in the life cycle and the natural form of property tenure. Ireland has one of the highest proportions of owner-occupiers in the EU at around 80%. In the UK in the 1980s almost half of all mortgages were taken out by first-time buyers, but this has now declined to only about 15%.. In Ireland, FTB's represent 34% of the market. In recent years the number of new buyers purchasing property has declined, with FTBs being "priced out of the market" by ever increasing house prices.
