#1 Top Tip
Sort out any issues on your credit report
You must first obtain an up-to-date credit report to check how your credit worthiness is viewed. If you have been rejected for credit, you need to check your files immediately to work out the reason why. Otherwise, you may continue to apply for credit for which you continue to be declined. This cycle, of itself, worsens any credit problems.
#2 Top Tip
First time buyer mortgage
First time buyer mortgages are any types of mortgage specifically marketed at first time buyers. They might for example be Help to Buy Mortgages or cashback mortgages (where the lender makes some cash immediately available for your home move when you take out the mortgage).
Mortgages specifically marketed at first time buyers are likely to be those which eliminate as much uncertainty regarding matters such as repayments as possible, so the certainty, for example, of fixed rates is likely to be favoured more than variable rate repayments.

For fast conveyancing in London, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers London
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 product. Our independent London mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage products 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 than 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 wont 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.
