Tips for getting a better mortgage
- If you want to move home having a large mortgage deposit will improve your available mortgage options and enable you to secure a better interest rate, as mortgage lenders view your application more favourably. It could also enable a mortgage lender to offer less stringent credit criteria.
- Consider how much deposit you can offer before you look for a suitable property. Your deposit could come from savings, gifts from friends or family, or from equity in your current property.
- Help a lender offer you a larger mortgage by improving your affordability and not having too much debt by clearing any unnecessary loans or credit cards.
- Check Karma, Experian and Equifax to make sure there are no mistakes on your credit profile as it will affect your credit rating. Other ways to improve your credit rating include making sure you are registered on the electoral roll, making credit payments on time and using a low percentage of your credit limit.
