#1 Top Tip
Remove financial links to old partners
You may find that your credit rating is diminished because of the suspect credit history of someone you've shared joint finances with. This might be a business or life partner.
You should write to your credit reference agency and ask for a notice of disassociation.
#2 Top Tip
Cashback Mortgage
A lender gives you money back, normally a percentage of the loan, when you take out this type of mortgage, the idea being that you benefit from a lump sum which is helpful when you're moving home.
In many ways, this type of mortgage is purely a marketing incentive: before taking this type of mortgage out, you should carefully check the interest rate you will be charged and if you'll have to pay any additional fees to see if you're actually benefiting enough from the incentive.
Get together all the required official paperwork you'll need for your conveyancing.
- For ID purposes, you'll normally require an up-to-date passport and/or driving licence with a current home address.
- You'll need to provide proof of funds; as an employee, you'll need at least the last 3 months' payslips and a P60; if you're self-employed, you'll need your SA302 from HMRC (you need to allow for a time-lapse if you have to order this) or accounts covering the last 3 years.
- If you're selling, you need any relevant documents detailing planning consents or building regulation approval and any guarantees for works or fittings and things like boiler safety certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Guildford
The role of a mortgage broker is to take your information and compare multiple deals from different lenders, based on your specific details, to find you the best option.
The benefit of using a mortgage broker is having one expert doing the research and comparison for you, rather than dealing with multiple lenders who all want to sell you their own products. Our independent Guildford mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.

Our independent Guildford mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage product and aren't really interested in finding a better deal, it is always worth using a mortgage broker, and when your initial consultation is free with SAM Conveyancing, what have you got to lose?
Some homeowners want the convenience of borrowing with the same lender that they currently bank with. Even then, it is often worth going through a broker anyway, as they may be able to get you an exclusive offer from that very same bank that you won't have access to.
Most mortgage brokers make their money in a flat fee or a commission, which is paid to them by the lender. Some brokers charge a fee to the borrower which is normally payable as a flat fee, or it can be financed with the mortgage.
You'll need a mortgage approval in principle in order to budget, so you should get a mortgage broker before you start looking for houses and certainly before you make an offer on one. In fact, some people speak to a mortgage broker as soon as they decide to get serious about buying a home.
There's no need to meet a mortgage broker face to face. Our hand-selected mortgage experts offer convenient remote meetings by phone, for award-winning, national coverage.
A mortgage broker will be quicker purely based on their greater experience. They will be able to check your application to make sure it's not rejected for commonplace mistakes and they can steer you away from wasting your time applying for mortgage products or to lenders who are likely to turn you down.
