Don't just pay the minimum repayment on your credit card

While you should always pay at least the minimum monthly repayment on your credit card and on time, it's very worth paying more than this and doing so will boost your credit score.

Lenders view paying off more than the monthly required minimum sum as evidence of good financial management and inform credit reference agencies accordingly.

Capped Mortgage

Capped mortgages are variable rate mortgages and the cap comes into play if the rate rises and ensures that repayments cannot rise beyond a certain amount. If the rate falls, then repayments become less.

If you are thinking of taking up a capped mortgage, you need to be sure that you are able to make payments should the rate rise to and stay at the level of the cap: if the cap is set too high, problems can occur as payments become too expensive to accommodate.

Capped mortgages are normally capped for an agreed fixed term and if this is the case you can only leave if you pay a large early repayment charge. Once the fixed term has elapsed, the mortgage is normally converted to one which is variable with the lender's standard variable rate. From this point, there are no penalties for choosing to take up a mortgage of another type.

Leyton Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

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

Your solicitor cannot exchange on your property in Leyton 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.
