Don't use your credit cards to withdraw cashYou should only ever withdraw cash using a credit card in an emergency. It's very expensive and worse, lenders view it as proof that your money management skills are poor: it is recorded on your credit file. |
Endowment MortgageEndowment mortgages are traditionally associated with interest-only mortgages and so are only open to non-residential investors such as those looking to buy to let. Your monthly repayments pay off the interest on the loan only with an interest-only mortgage and don't address payment of the capital. The endowment element works by you paying into an endowment fund and part of your payment is put towards life cover (if you die, the capital is paid off). The endowment fund itself is an investment fund which you invest in monthly and which is intended to grow, during the mortgage period, to become large enough on surrender at the end of the period to cover the capital. The risk – and controversy surrounding these products – concerns the fund not growing sufficiently to cover the full capital amount such that there is a shortfall which has to be made up. |

Gravesend Mortgage Broker Insider Tips
For fast conveyancing in Gravesend, the trick is to choose the right solicitor from the outset.
- Whilst this may seem like an obvious one, it's not just the standard of reviews that means a solicitor is good. It is also the volume of work.
- You need someone who values high communication levels and will work with your best interests in mind at all times. If a solicitor is overworked, your case may get overlooked, which can increase the chance of delays and poor prioritisation of clients.
- At SAM Conveyancing we aim for completion within 6-8 weeks. For us, we make sure your deadline is as achievable as possible.
