Remove old addresses/old accounts from your file

If you have an account for, say, a mobile phone you don't use any more and it's linked to an old address, this can ruin a mortgage application due to ID checks.

You must make sure old accounts are closed or have an up-to-date address.

95% mortgage

As they sound, 95% mortgages involve a lender granting you a loan equal to 95% of the full purchase price of a home to enable you to buy it. You might look at these if you are looking to buy a property but do not have sufficient savings for a standard-sized deposit of 10% of the asking price.

The downside is that you have to take out a larger mortgage, which is likely to be more expensive in terms of interest rate levied on the loan. Additionally, house prices need only fall 6% for you to find yourself in negative equity.

Barnes Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

Book your home buyers survey as soon as you have your offer accepted.

Getting a RICS home buyers survey is always recommended because you get an expert opinion on whether a property you want to buy has any defects which may give you grounds to bargain for a lower price with a vendor or even pull out.

Once you have instructed a RICS surveyor, it may take perhaps up to 10 days before they can carry out their inspection and then they may take five working days (or more) to get the report back to you. You should therefore keep delays to a minimum by booking your survey as soon as possible.
