What is essential when starting to apply for a mortgage?
Preparation is key, so have everything available to achieve the most accurate outcome. When preparing for an application/conversation it is important to have an up-to-date income; ideally have your latest 3 months’ payslips and P60 available, or the last 2 years tax year calculations and overview for self-employed applicants.
It is also important to know your existing commitments and consider a realistic budget that is affordable each month. It is also a requirement that you have a deposit, based on the current climate the minimum expectation from most lenders when considering purchases is 5%.
Mortgage Advice in our Barry Office
Whether you’re looking for your first home, buy to let property or looking to save money on your current mortgage, contact Martyn today for a completely free, no-obligation, initial financial review. Better still, call into our offices on Wednesdays when Martyn will be available to talk face to face and arrange an appointment to establish what it is you are looking for.
The most exciting changes to affect the mortgage market recently is the reintroduction of 95% of products for first time buyers. For a long time, mortgage lenders were asking for a minimum of a 10% deposit which was preventing many people from buying their first home, as it was unrealistic. The good news for first time buyers is that the mortgage lenders attitude has now changed and there are now many lenders across the market offering 95% products. Also, rates have been gradually reducing over the last few months so now is an ideal time to secure yourself a low rate and reduced monthly payments. Products range from 2 years up to ten years so can easily decide how long you want that peace of mind for.
