Unused credit cards and store cards? Cut them up!

Access to too much available credit that you don't use at all can negatively impact your credit rating. In other words, the difference between taking a small amount of credit on a card and then paying it off correctly is preferable to having the card but not using it at all. The best thing to do with credit cards and store cards that you don't use at all is to destroy them.

Conversely, you shouldn't 'max out' any one credit card – you are better off using less than 50% of available credit on any one card and taking on another one if you are maxing one out to spread your credit (ensuring that you pay down the card which you max out of course!). Additionally, dormant bank accounts which have good credit histories are best left open – these can benefit your credit score.

Interest-only Mortgage

Your repayments for an interest-only mortgage only go towards paying for the interest on the loan. The actual loan capital has to be paid off using one or more other investment vehicles, such as an endowment fund – it does not work like a repayment mortgage, where you develop an increasing equity in the property over time.

Interest-only mortgages are only open to commercial mortgage applicants, including, most notably, those looking to buy to let.


Fleet in Hampshire County, located 36 miles south-west from London, is a town in the Hart district. Basingstoke is 10 miles to the west. Fleet has received many plaudits for being judged one of the best places to live in the UK by some industry experts: it is affluent, has a quaint High Street, a freshwater lake - Fleet Pond - and numerous open spaces around it.

Basingstoke Canal runs through Fleet and is very popular with walkers, cyclists and people fishing. You can also visit the ruins of King John's Castle at North Warnborough.

Fleet Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

If you're buying, getting a structural assessment (Building Survey) of your property in Fleet from a RICS Surveyor is key and can save you £1,000s by highlighting defects that can be shared or negotiated with the seller. 

All too often buyers choose to not get a Building Survey thinking that their Mortgage Valuation will cover them for this. Sadly the mortgage valuation doesn't highlight structural defects or risks.

Once you realise this and then choose to get a Building Survey you may find that you are pushed to get this done in time for exchange of contracts because you have waited so long. This is especially annoying as your conveyancing solicitor needs some of the information from the survey to complete your legal work.

The best advice for fast conveyancing in Fleet is to book your Building Survey at the same time as you instruct your conveyancing solicitor. 

Surveyors are in high demand at the moment and bookings can often take 7 to 10 days and then the report 3 to 5 days after that so the sooner you book, the quicker you'll know if there are any defects with you property - plus you'll be set for a fast conveyancing completion!
