Considerations when applying for a mortgage

When you apply for a mortgage, there are several things to be aware of that might boost your chances of being accepted, or that could help you get a better deal.

A good starting point is to get a copy of your credit report, as lenders will look at this when processing your application so that they can see whether you’ve managed debts responsibly in the past. If your score is lower than you were expecting, you might be able to boost it by closing down any unused credit accounts and making sure you’re on the electoral roll.

Bear in mind that the bigger the deposit you can afford to put down, the wider the choice of mortgage options you’ll have available to you. Lenders tend to offer favourable rates if you have a substantial deposit or a significant amount of equity if remortgaging as they’ll consider you lower risk than someone with a small deposit.
