Don't make multiple applications for creditIf you apply for lots of credit then every company you apply to will check your credit file. This could indicate that you are desperate for money and will have an impact on your credit score. Banks and building societies even check your credit score when you open a bank account. Don’t worry, checking your credit score through Experian, Equifax or CallCredit will not affect your credit score. |
Discount MortgageLenders have a standard variable rate (SVR) for mortgages which is normally a few percentage points above the Bank of England's (BoE) base rate. This rate will vary with changes in the BoE base rate and the lender can vary it autonomously. When you get a discount mortgage from a lender, the variable interest rate charged on your mortgage will be at a discount from its SVR. You benefit because the discount rate is cheaper than the SVR and if the SVR itself goes down, your repayments become even less, although the discounted rate can similarly rise. The discount rate is normally for a fixed time period, typically 2 or 3 years. There may well be expensive early repayment charges if you choose to leave. |

Bromley Mortgage Broker Insider Tips
Getting financial help towards your deposit from a family member?
To save yourself delays in the conveyancing process further down the line:
1 The family member must decide whether it's a gift or a loan.
2 If it's a gift, you must ensure that the person gifting fills out a gifted deposit letter with the correct information.
The correct information must be set down and the letter must be signed by witnesses. The giver will also have to provide ID and proof of funds. If the giver isn't a family member, you must tell your mortgage lender as this can sometimes cause issues.
For further information about these matters, including a useful template, please click on Gifted Deposit Letter
