Don't use your credit cards to withdraw cash

You 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 Mortgage

Endowment 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 is a town in north west Kent and is 21 miles east south-east of Central London. Tibury in Essex faces it on the other side of the Thames and the town is the administrative centre of Gravesham Borough. Gravesend is strongly associated with maritime activity and much of its activity has been traditionally focused on the River Thames and the Thames Estuary.

Cyclopark in Watlington Street is an excellent skate, scooter and bike park for children as well as a playground for the younger ones and refreshments. For walks and outdoor activities, Shorne Woods Country Park in Brewers Road is recommended. It's pleasant and relaxing with many things to do and also has refreshments.

Gravesend Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

Agree a date you want to compete by as soon as your offer is accepted

Even though you may not actually end up moving on the date you agree at this point, it is likely to focus any chain on a timeframe for exchange of contracts and completion, which is likely to save considerable time overall.

Ask your solicitor to inform all other parties of your preferred timeline.
