Bank on Lloyds for your new mortgage

Halifax and Lloyds are part of the same family of brands. New mortgage customers can apply for a Lloyds mortgage online and you'll have access to the same wide range of options.

Existing Halifax mortgage customers should still apply for a Halifax mortgage.​

How does it work?

  • At least one person applying must be a first-time buyer.
  • You must have a deposit of 10% or more to put down.
  • The total household income of everyone applying must be a minimum of £40,000.
  • We’ll boost the amount we can lend you by up to 22%.


For example:

If you have a total household income of £50,000 and a 10% deposit, the most you could borrow is £224,500.

With our First Time Buyer Boost mortgage, you could borrow up to £275,000.
