#1 Top Tip
Don't hold and max out just one credit card
If you're close to maxing out the credit on the only credit card you hold, you'll be less able to respond, e.g., to an emergency – you might suddenly, for example, need to pay a mechanic to fix your car. This is a good reason to hold at least one other unused credit card.
You may also protect your credit score better: people who max out a single credit card are often regarded as being more likely to miss future repayments.
#2 Top Tip
Current Account Mortgage
Current account mortgages are a version of offset mortgage where your current account and mortgage are converted to one account. The idea is that when you get paid, the credit reduces your mortgage sum, so mortgage repayments become cheaper, however the more of your pay you use, the more that the repayments rise to 'normal' levels.
The more your account is in credit, the more capital you'll pay off. You can't normally access discounted rates with this kind of mortgage.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Portsmouth
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 Portsmouth 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.
