Mortgage Applications
How does the mortgage application process work?
The entire mortgage process begins with that initial point of contact. This can sometimes be the most frightening of all the steps, possibly owing to the unknown.
How much deposit do you need for a mortgage?
‘How much of a deposit do I need to buy a house?’ is one of the most frequently asked questions by prospective homebuyers, whether for their own use or as a rental investment.
What documents do you need to apply for a mortgage?
As part of your mortgage application process, you will need to provide essential documents to support your application. Ensuring you have the correct documents from the outset could make the application process easier and quicker.
What does a mortgage broker do?
When reviewing your mortgage options, you will most likely realise that there are several ways to obtain the information you want and then make the appropriate arrangements. Using a mortgage broker is one of these choices. What, though, does a knowledgeable mortgage broker do for you?
Guarantor Mortgages
Using a guarantor may allow you to obtain a mortgage approval when you otherwise would have been denied.
What credit score do you need for a mortgage?
One of the most crucial elements of a lender’s affordability assessment during a mortgage application is your credit history. The main reason why a lender assesses your credit is to help them determine if you are a risky borrower.
