Get wise to APRsAPRs 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 MortgagePeople 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.

Beckenham Mortgage Broker Insider Tips
If you're buying, getting a structural assessment (Building Survey) of your property in Beckenham from a RICS Surveyor is key and can save you £1,000s by highlighting defects that can be shared or negotiated with the seller.
All too often buyers choose to not get a Building Survey thinking that their Mortgage Valuation will cover them for this. Sadly the mortgage valuation doesn't highlight structural defects or risks.
Once you realise this and then choose to get a Building Survey you may find that you are pushed to get this done in time for exchange of contracts because you have waited so long. This is especially annoying as your conveyancing solicitor needs some of the information from the survey to complete your legal work.
The best advice for fast conveyancing in Beckenham is to book your Building Survey at the same time as you instruct your conveyancing solicitor.
Surveyors are in high demand at the moment and bookings can often take 7 to 10 days and then the report 3 to 5 days after that so the sooner you book, the quicker you'll know if there are any defects with you property - plus you'll be set for a fast conveyancing completion!
