Mortgage Broker Tip 1

Check your scores with all 3 credit reference agencies

The 3 companies – CallCredit, Experian and Equifax – all use different methods to derive your score: you should therefore check all 3 to find out what points they've given you because you don't know which agencies a lender will check with.

<>/div>
The additional benefit is that credit reference agencies occasionally do make mistakes, for example keeping an address on file which has become obsolete. You should always work quickly to make mistakes as you may end up being unfairly penalised and this can spiral, with resolution becoming a complicated matter!

Standard Variable Rate Mortgage

A standard variable rate mortgage is one where the interest you pay on your mortgage loan to your lender is normally a few percentage points above the Bank of England base rate. The rate can vary, not only along with movements in the base rate but also because the lender decides to vary it.

If you have a standard variable rate mortgage, you'll have to ensure that you can make your repayments even if the rate changes against your favour and thus there Is an inherent uncertainty about this. You can, however, leave this kind of mortgage at any time without penalty and opt to take on, for example, a fixed rate mortgage or a discount mortgage.


Chelsea is a very affluent area in London, within Kensington & Chelsea borough, 3 miles south-west of the capital's centre. It has the River Thames to its south and it includes the famous King's Road and Sloane Square.

Chelsea Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

If a family member or friend is providing you with any of the finance towards your home purchase in Chelsea, make sure your solicitor has all the information in good time.

If there is a loan or a gift, your solicitor may need proof of funds, relevant documentation and a proof of ID. If they do not have this, you may find yourself ready to exchange but not able to go ahead. Furthermore, your mortgage lender may not be happy to lend where there is an unregistered interest (i.e. the financial interest of your relative or friend) over the property. 

They will want to know if this is going to be a gift or a second registered charge. As you can see this is prone to getting complicated and can affect whether or not you decide to proceed. If you can get everything underway and sorted out as soon as possible, you will be in a better position to make an informed decision from the outset.
