FTB mortgage offers these days?

I know, I know, it's the worst ever time to buy a house and all that jazz, but I'm curious!

What kind of mortgage offers are first time buyers are getting approved these days, i.e. what are the maximum LTV and income multiples being offered? And at what sort of interest rate/fix length/fee?
Never mind the house prices, I'm saving a deposit.
[STRIKE]£20,000[/STRIKE] £15,100.82 still needed - 24.50% saved so far!
Buying and moving costs: £3-5k - will save this after the £20k
