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.

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.


Guildford is the county town of Surrey and was listed 7th in the 2015 hottest locations. Its most famous landmark is its town clock, which was given to Guildford merchants in 1683. It boasts a busy shopping hub with House of Fraser, Debenhams and The Friary Centre available. For those who prefer to live in the surrounding areas, the nearby villages of Merrow, Burpham and East Horsley are very pretty, and with lower property prices than in the centre of Guildford. Also worthy of mention is Loseley Park, which has an Elizabethan house, beautiful grounds and period furnishings - it is a very popular venue to hire for weddings and it has its own chapel.

There are lovely walks to be had in the area, such as around Newlands Corner, Guildford Castle and Stoke Park. Also with the Surrey Hills keen ramblers and regular cyclists can stumble on many different places of interest.

Guildford Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

Get your signed documents to your conveyancing solicitors as soon as possible.

Your solicitor cannot exchange on your property in Guildford until they have received your signed contract, transfer deed, mortgage deed and anything else required. Therefore it is so vital that you complete these as soon as possible and send them by the fastest possible method.

Often your solicitor will only accept signed originals of certain documents. Therefore it is important to account for slow postal delivery options.
