#1 Top Tip
Disassociate from previous partners with poor credit ratings
Being financially associated with someone with a poor credit rating lowers yours in turn. If you've split up, you should ensure that credit agencies know about the split.
You do this by filling out a disassociation form: do this for each of the 3 main credit reference agencies.
#2 Top Tip
Offset Mortgage
With any form of offset mortgage the applicant normally has a linked account which bears interest and this interest is offset against the interest payable on their mortgage loan, making repayments cost less.
The flip side is that interest rates charged on these mortgages may be higher than normal and, of course, the income from interest on the linked account can no longer be used for any other purpose.
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 to a prospective buyer.
- They also benefit by being notified of any planning orders, etc.
Order your Local Authority Search
Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Bristol
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 products. Our independent Bristol mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.

Our independent Bristol mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage product 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 that 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 won't 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.
*The free mortgage consultation allows you to discuss your mortgage opportunities with one of our panel of FCA-regulated mortgage brokers. If you want to proceed, some mortgage products require a payment to the broker. You can disengage your Mortgage Broker before making a formal application, and no fee will be charged. SAM Conveyancing doesn't provide regulated mortgage advice.
