Top 5 Tips
01
Make sure your ID is valid before starting proceedings. Mortgage lenders will require photographic ID so ensure your passport and/or driving licence is in date. Check your addresses are up-to-date on all your active accounts. It doesn’t hurt to register on the electoral roll either. Visit the Government website to register.
02
Check your credit score by obtaining a credit report - https://www.checkmyfile.partners/7NRWM4Q/2CTPL* Lenders like to have an idea of your financial behaviour to ensure you can meet repayments. If possible, avoid making any other applications prior to your mortgage application as it can add a footprint to your file.

Determine your budget. We will help you assess your expenditure but jot down all your current outgoings and consider if any can be reduced. Can you add to your deposit? Basically, the bigger the deposit, the lower the interest rate which means your monthly repayments are less.
04
Obtain a Decision in Principle as you begin your property search. It is confirmation from a lender that they would, in principle, lend you a certain amount of money. Extremely useful when viewing properties as you are likely to be taken more seriously by the estate agent.
05
