Get wise to APRs

APRs are a fundamental to understanding how much your borrowing will cost you. They vary greatly according to what form of borrowing is being taken on and how high your credit score is.
You are well advised to shop around between products and types of borrowing available to you where APRs are concerned and you must find out what your credit score is – if it's on the low side, you're likely to be charged higher APRs on borrowing or even for your application to be refused.

Buy to Let Mortgage

People looking to buy to let can apply for mortgages which are designed specifically for this purpose. They normally have to satisfy certain conditions such as providing at least a 25% deposit and provide evidence that their projected rental income is likely to be at least 125% of the annual mortgage interest repayments.

Buy to let mortgages can include interest-only mortgages in addition to repayment mortgages. These kind of mortgages can often satisfy the risk profile of buy to let investors. Please click on Buy to Let Mortgages to find out more.

Beckenham Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

Selling? Consider ordering your own local authority search

  • One of the conditions that a lender imposes on a buyer buying a property with a mortgage is that the buyer must purchase a local authority search. Additionally, cash buyers often buy this search for their own peace of mind.

  • The local authority search takes the longest to be returned; anything from 1 week/10 days to 6 weeks and beyond sometimes. 

  • A seller can therefore pre-empt this by buying their own local authority search, which they can then sell onto a prospective buyer.

  • They also benefit by being notified of any planning orders etc.
