Be wary of 'quick fix' credit improvement organisations
Some companies offer to fix your credit score in little or no time. You should be extremely suspicious of spending any money on these as the hard truth is that a credit score cannot normally be fixed quickly.
Anything that one of these companies claim to be able to do you can do yourself. If there's a mistake on your report, you yourself can work to fix it by communicating with the agency with appropriate evidence. You don't have to pay a company a fortune to do it for you. And if you've got credit problems, these can be fixed, by you, over time.

Fixed Rate Mortgage
A fixed rate mortgage is one where the interest charged on your monthly repayments is fixed for a particular set period; 2, 3, 5 and 10 years are the most common. You benefit by knowing exactly how much money you'll have to have put aside each month without having to worry about what is happening in the capital markets and whether the Bank of England base rate will rise (thus making your repayments more expensive).
When the set period comes to an end, your mortgage then becomes subject to the bank's standard variable rate (SVR) which means that it then moves in line with an index, which is most commonly the Bank of England's interest rate, referred to above. You can then opt either to stay on the SVR or to take out a new fixed rate mortgage, either with the same provider or with a new one.
Interest rates charged on fixed rate mortgages are often initially higher than for those chargeable under the SVR, however the repayment sum cannot rise higher meaning there's more peace of mind. You should be wary, however, of leaving a fixed rate mortgage before the fixed period has finished, because you'll normally have to pay a hefty early repayment charge to do so.
Book your mortgage valuation as soon as you've had your offer accepted
If you're buying with a mortgage, you won't be able to complete unless the funds have come through to your solicitor. You have to apply for a mortgage, be accepted/get a mortgage in principle, but then, once you've had an offer accepted, your mortgage lender has to value the property, and only after this, assuming all goes to plan, do you get your mortgage offer with funds in readiness.
You can, therefore, minimise lost time by booking your mortgage valuation on the day you have an offer accepted. It may take around a week or so for the valuation survey to take place, then you have to allow for a few days to elapse before you have your offer. If you delay, the whole process slows down.
Additionally, if there are any issues like your lender undervaluing your property or making you a conditional offer, there might be further delays.
