#1 Top Tip
Be wary of fraud
Identity fraud is on the increase and can seriously damage your credit score. This is another reason to check your credit file regularly: in the searches section particularly, you should examine it to see if there's any which you don't recognise (double-check with the named lender).
If you think you've become a victim of identity fraud, you should report this to the police and to your bank.

Help to Buy Mortgage
If you take up the Government's Help to Buy Scheme to buy a New Build home, the Government provides up to 20% of the purchase price in the form of a repayable equity loan (up to 40% within the Greater London area) to add to your 5% deposit then you pay for the rest of the asking price via a Help to Buy Mortgage.
This mortgage will therefore be for a maximum of 75% of the purchase price (55% in Greater London) and the maximum purchase price is £600,000. Want to find out more? Click on Help to Buy Mortgages
Get all your signed documentation to your solicitor in advance, if you want to give yourself more chance of a faster conveyancing process in Birmingham.
Your conveyancing solicitor can't exchange contracts with the other side until they receive your mortgage deed, transfer deed, signed contract and so on. Originals of these documents, or at least some originals may be required by your solicitor and if so, you may need to post them.
It's a good idea, if you have to use Royal Mail, to send as much correspondence as you can together and make sure to use recorded delivery. This way, the documents can be tracked and you can find out when your mail was received and who signed for it. This is never best left to chance - you might lose your documents, which will slow down your conveyancing considerably and you will have to wait for replacements, into the bargain.
Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Birmingham
The role of a mortgage broker is to take your information and compare multiple deals from different lenders, based on your specific details, to find you the best option.
The benefit of using a mortgage broker is having one expert doing the research and comparison for you, rather than dealing with multiple lenders who all want to sell you their own product. Our independent Birmingham mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage products and aren't really interested in finding a better deal, it is always worth using a mortgage broker and when your initial consultation is free with SAM Conveyancing, what have you got to lose?
Some homeowners want the convenience of borrowing with the same lender than they currently bank with. Even then it is often worth going through a broker anyway, as they may be able to get you an exclusive offer from that very same bank, that you wont have access to.
Most mortgage brokers make their money in a flat fee or a commission which is paid to them by the lender. Some brokers charge a fee to the borrower which is normally payable as a flat fee, or it can be financed with the mortgage.
You'll need a mortgage approval in principle in order to budget, so you should get a mortgage broker before you start looking for houses and certainly before you make an offer on one. In fact, some people speak to a mortgage broker as soon as they decide to get serious about buying a home.
There's no need to meet a mortgage broker face to face. Our hand selected mortgage experts offer convenient remote meetings by phone, for award-winning, national coverage.
A mortgage broker will be quicker purely based on their greater experience. They will be able to check your application to make sure it's not rejected for commonplace mistakes and they can steer you away from wasting your time applying for mortgage products or to lenders who are likely to turn you down.
