Get a credit card – but use it responsibly

People who don't have credit cards tend to be regarded, all other things being equal, as a higher risk than someone who manages credit cards responsibly.

The key is to keep your credit to manageable levels, make your repayments on time and, to save yourself money, don't use your credit card as a cash card apart from in an emergency!

Tracker Mortgage

These are a type of variable rate mortgage and the interest rate varies according to another interest rate which it tracks – most often this is the Bank of England base rate – and is a few per cent higher than this. The arrangement normally lasts for a set time period, most often between 2 and 5 years.

You benefit by having cheaper repayments if the tracked rate falls and lose out if this rate rises. You should investigate to see if your lender can increase the rate even if the underlying rate doesn't change. You should also be wary if there are large repayment charges if you choose to leave the product before the end of the fixed period.


Romford, a large town in North East London about 14 miles from the capital's centre, forms one of the largest retail, leisure, commercial and enterprise districts outside London. Romford Greyhound Stadium in London Road is one the few remaining dog racing tracks in London.

Romford also hosts a very pretty boutique theatre - The Brookside Theatre - in Eastern Road which hosts a variety of productions and you are on the doorstep of Epping Forest for many different outdoor leisure activities.

Romford Mortgage Broker Insider Tips

Getting financial help towards your deposit from a family member?

To save yourself delays in the conveyancing process further down the line:

1 The family member must decide whether it's a gift or a loan.
2 If it's a gift, you must ensure that the person gifting fills out a gifted deposit letter with the correct information.

The correct information must be set down and the letter must be signed by witnesses. The giver will also have to provide ID and proof of funds. If the giver isn't a family member, you must tell your mortgage lender as this can sometimes cause issues.

For further information about these matters, including a useful template, please click on Gifted Deposit Letter
