How to get a mortgage - or remortgage - in Stratford
Stratford is a town in the West Ham area of London, around 6 miles from London's centre. It was the prinicipal location of London's 2012 Olympics and you can go for a dive and a swim at the London Aquatics Centre or cycle at the Lee Valley VeloPark. It hosts a Westfield shopping mall (which, among other things, contains the UK's biggest casino), packed with high end and other stores. The University of East London has a campus here as does Birkbeck College of the University of London.
The mortgage application process has 4 stages regardless of which mortgage lender you use:
- Approval in principal (AIP)
- Mortgage in principal (MIP)
- Mortgage valuation
- Mortgage Offer

Don't take up more than half of the credit available to you
As a general rule, you should not take up more than half the credit available to you on, say, a credit card because it will negatively impact your credit score.
When you take up more than 50% of the credit offered to you, lenders start to view you as overextended and therefore more likely to default on a debt repayment or to make a payment late in future. They therefore downgrade your credit score accordingly, making any future potential borrowing more expensive or worse, any future applications for credit less likely to be successful.
Help to Buy Mortgage
A Help to Buy mortgage is required to cover the rest of the purchase price of a New Build you're looking to buy within the scheme which involves you having to produce a minimum 5% deposit and for which the Government provides an equity loan (repayable) of up to 20% (up to 40% for London Help to Buy) of the purchase price of the property.
The Help to Buy mortgage you require is therefore likely to be for a maximum loan to value (LTV) of 75% (55% for London Help to Buy) of the purchase price of the property. This is a lower LTV ratio than for standard mortgages, leaving you less exposed.

Mortgage Broker Tips for the Conveyancing Process
Communicate using the fastest and most efficient methods.
This way unnecessary delays are avoided. It would be awful if you were ready to exchange on your property in Stratford but couldn't go ahead as some documents were still outstanding in the post.
Modern society allows us to contact each other with the touch of a button, be it via email or telephone. If you have a question, it is often quicker to call. If you need to send some documents, an email with scanned attachments can be faster than the post.
If you are using the post, always use the most rapid options and make sure it is recorded or you could risk losing important, essential documents. The nominal extra cost is utterly worth it. It's important to note that a lost or even delayed document can set you back 2-3 weeks, and time is precious in a home move.
