Mortgage Broker Norfolk

If you haven't had credit before, you won't have a very high credit score. You can help this by taking out a credit card and paying out a small amount on it each month (such as a subscription to Netflix). Ensure you set up a direct debit to repay the full amount each month so you don't get involved with having to repay the money subject to a large APR.

You don't have to ever use the card to take out money – this is very expensive and will actually hurt your credit score – and each time you make a repayment, your credit score will incrementally improve.

A person may wish to buy a home but their salary multiples may mean that they can't get a sufficiently large mortgage to do so. One strategy they can use is to make a joint application for a mortgage, involving someone who can get a mortgage, and that other person then does not appear on the legal title. A joint borrower sole proprietor mortgage is the term for the mortgage the pair apply for.

There are legal risks involved in this strategy and at the very least, both participants are well advised to draw up a deed of trust to protect their individual interests.
