What type of mortgage should we seek?

Options
I haven't had a mortgage since 2003, my wife since 2015. My father has died and we have the right to buy his house (which have lived in for 7 years) from the estate. I have inherited 42% of it.  What type of mortgage are we applying for? Can we apply for first time buyers? Its not a re-mortgage per se either. We don't own any other property.

    Just a regular house mover mortgage. You aren’t a first time buyer. 
  • Actually - if you go with Nationwide you are a FTB as you have not held a mortgage in 3 years. Its funny really. Not many benefits to it, unless you wanted the helping hands mortgage at 5.5X your income.
