Mortgage Broker Winchester

One trick to increase your credit score is to get your credit limit increased but not take on any more borrowing. At a stroke, you look like a better risk because you will be using less of the credit available to you.

As a general rule, you should not be taking up more than 50% of the credit available to you on any one credit card; if your borrowings are a higher proportion of the credit available than this, you look more risky as a prospect because you look overextended: for this reason your credit score will be lowered.

A person may wish to buy a home but their salary multiples may mean that they can't get a sufficiently large mortgage to do so. One strategy they can use is to make a joint application for a mortgage, involving someone who can get a mortgage, and that other person then does not appear on the legal title. A joint borrower sole proprietor mortgage is the term for the mortgage the pair apply for.

There are legal risks involved in this strategy and at the very least, both participants are well advised to draw up a deed of trust to protect their individual interests.
