Set up payment remindersYour credit score is highly sensitive to whether you make your credit card payments on time. Some lenders offer payment reminders through their online portals that can send you an email or text message reminding you when a payment is due. You might also want to consider enrolling in automatic payments through your credit card and loan providers to have payments automatically debited from your bank account. Be aware however that only the minimum required payment on your credit cards might be made – in the longer term, you should always be careful to manage your finances well. . |
Offset MortgageOffset mortgages link up your savings to your mortgage so you only pay interest on the mortgage loan on the debt which exceeds your savings balance. You therefore benefit by being charged less interest than normal so you can look to pay off your mortgage sooner than normal and save possibly thousands of pounds in interest repayments. Interest rates are often higher than normal for these products and you won't be able to spend the interest you earn on your linked savings. |

Basildon Mortgage Broker Insider Tips
If a family member or friend is providing you with any of the finance towards your home purchase in Basildon, make sure your solicitor has all the information in good time.
If there is a loan or a gift, your solicitor may need proof of funds, relevant documentation and a proof of ID. If they do not have this, you may find yourself ready to exchange but not able to go ahead. Furthermore, your mortgage lender may not be happy to lend where there is an unregistered interest (i.e. the financial interest of your relative or friend) over the property.
They will want to know if this is going to be a gift or a second registered charge. As you can see this is prone to getting complicated and can affect whether or not you decide to proceed. If you can get everything underway and sorted out as soon as possible, you will be in a better position to make an informed decision from the outset.
