Before you apply for a large loan, you should definitely find out how lenders are likely to view you for credit risk.

Remember that getting turned down for a loan negatively impacts your credit score. Also remember that there are 3 credit reference agencies that lenders check with; it's worth finding out how all 3 view you because they work out their scores differently.

Offset Mortgage

Offset mortgages can be fixed or variable rate, and involve a linked savings account where any interest which accrues is used to offset against the interest on the mortgage loan, making repayments cheaper.

You should always check the rates which accompany these mortgages to see how competitive they are and bear in mind that you will no longer be able to benefit from any income which comes about from the savings account.


Rochester is a historic city - it has a beautiful cathedral - and town in the Medway unitary authority in Kent in South East England and is around 29 miles east south-east of Central London.

In addition to the cathedral, other landmarks include Rochester Castle and Gashouse Point.

Rochester Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

The trick is to choose the right solicitor from the outset for your home move in Rochester.

Yes, this may seem obvious, but it's not only the reviews that make a good solicitor. It is also the volume of work they have. If a solicitor is overworked, they will not be able to prioritise effectively, delays may be increased and your case may be overlooked. 

A good solicitor is someone who keeps your best interest in mind at all times and who values high communication levels.
