Checked one score? Check all 3!

Remember that in the UK there are 3 main credit reference agencies: Experian, Equifax and CallCredit. All 3 use different methods to produce a credit score and one or all may be consulted by a lender about your credit-worthiness.

It therefore makes more sense to check your score – and file – for all 3 so you have a complete picture of how your profile is viewed and can take any necessary steps to keep your credit score as high as you can.

Repayment Mortgage

You have to take out a repayment mortgage if you are a residential home buyer. You are granted a mortgage loan normally conditional on your saving a deposit of a minimum of 10% of the purchase price (in certain circumstances a lower percentage or even no deposit may be acceptable) and you commit to making regular monthly repayments over an agreed term, frequently 25 years, during which you pay back the loan.

For each payment you make, a portion of the money goes toward paying the interest on the loan and the rest goes towards paying down the capital. You accumulate more of the underlying capital over time so the interest element becomes less and the portion devoted to paying off the principal increases.

The biggest advantage of a repayment mortgage is that as long as you make all the payments, you can rest assured that at the end of the term you'll own the full equity of your property. This is not guaranteed to be the case with an interest-only mortgage; these mortgages are now only open to commercial customers.

If you're buying, getting a structural assessment (Building Survey) of your property in West Sussex from a RICS Surveyor is key and can save you £1,000s by highlighting defects that can be shared or negotiated with the seller.

All too often, buyers choose not to get a Building Survey, thinking that their Mortgage Valuation will cover them for this. Sadly, the mortgage valuation doesn't highlight structural defects or risks.

Once you realise this and then choose to get a Building Survey you may find that you are pushed to get this done in time for exchange of contracts because you have waited so long. This is especially annoying as your conveyancing solicitor needs some of the information from the survey to complete your legal work.

The best advice for fast conveyancing in West Sussex is to book your Building Survey at the same time as you instruct your conveyancing solicitor.

Surveyors are in high demand at the moment and bookings can often take 7 to 10 days and then the report takes 3 to 5 days after that, so the sooner you book, the quicker you'll know if there are any defects with your property - plus you'll be set for a fast conveyancing completion!

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers West Sussex


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 products. Our independent West Sussex mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage product 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 that 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 won't 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.
*The free mortgage consultation allows you to discuss your mortgage opportunities with one of our panel of FCA-regulated mortgage brokers. If you want to proceed, some mortgage products require a payment to the broker. You can disengage your Mortgage Broker before making a formal application, and no fee will be charged. SAM Conveyancing doesn't provide regulated mortgage advice.
**Subject to availability. If we are fully booked ask and we will see if we can fit you in sooner.
