#1 Top Tip
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.
#2 Top Tip
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.
Get your signed documents to your conveyancing solicitors as soon as possible.
Your solicitor cannot exchange on your property in West Sussex until they have received your signed contract, transfer deed, mortgage deed and anything else required. Therefore it is so vital that you complete these as soon as possible and send them by the fastest possible method.
Often your solicitor will only accept signed originals of certain documents. Therefore it is important to account for slow postal delivery options.
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 product. 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 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.
