#1 Top Tip
You can get an online credit report free
Before you apply for a large loan, you should definitely find out how lenders are likely to view you for credit risk.
Remember that getting turned down for a loan negatively impacts your credit score. Also remember that there are 3 credit reference agencies that lenders check with; it's worth finding out how all 3 view you because they work out their scores differently.
#2 Top Tip
Offset Mortgage
Offset mortgages can be fixed or variable rate, and involve a linked savings account where any interest which accrues is used to offset against the interest on the mortgage loan, making repayments cheaper.
You should always check the rates which accompany these mortgages to see how competitive they are and bear in mind that you will no longer be able to benefit from any income which comes about from the savings account.
Start your mortgage application before you have found a property in Cambridgeshire which you want to put an offer on.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Cambridgeshire
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 Cambridgeshire mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.

Our independent Cambridgeshire 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.
