Don't take up more than half of the credit available to you

As a general rule, you should not take up more than half the credit available to you on, say, a credit card because it will negatively impact your credit score.

When you take up more than 50% of the credit offered to you, lenders start to view you as overextended and therefore more likely to default on a debt repayment or to make a payment late in future. They therefore downgrade your credit score accordingly, making any future potential borrowing more expensive or worse, any future applications for credit less likely to be successful.
Help to Buy Mortgage
A Help to Buy mortgage is required to cover the rest of the purchase price of a New Build you're looking to buy within the scheme which involves you having to produce a minimum 5% deposit and for which the Government provides an equity loan (repayable) of up to 20% (up to 40% for London Help to Buy) of the purchase price of the property.

The Help to Buy mortgage you require is therefore likely to be for a maximum loan to value (LTV) of 75% (55% for London Help to Buy) of the purchase price of the property. This is a lower LTV ratio than for standard mortgages, leaving you less exposed.

There are many listed buildings in the city and local attractions include St Mary's Vicarage (or 'Cromwell House' to locals), the Lamb Hotel and Roswell Pits, a picturesque wildlife reserve area which developed out of old clay - or gault - pits. Two of the pits are fishable for those who like angling.

Ely Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

By getting all of your signed documentation in to your solicitor in advance, you will get a better chance at a quick conveyancing process in Ely.

Until your solicitor has your mortgage deed, signed contract, transfer deed, ID and other relevant documentation, they will not be able to exchange. This is not helped by the fact that some documents must be posted.

If this is the case, send as much correspondence as you can in one go and always do so via recorded delivery. This way, you can track the documents, find out when they were received and who signed for them. Lost documents can slow down the process and be very frustrating for all, especially if you have to wait for replacements for originals!
