Even if you are not ready to obtain a mortgage now, we can advise you on what will be needed for a mortgage assessment and give you an indication of how much you can borrow so you know your spending level and prepare you for a mortgage in the future (see our top tips).
Top Tips
Where are you now and where do you want to be?
- Get an indication of how much you can borrow which will be based on the following:
- Income
- Repayment Capacity
- A combination of savings/rent for the last six months will indicate the monthly amount you can afford in mortgage payments.
- 6 months of statements for assessment (both bank and credit card) – make sure to keep your bank accounts well maintained.
- Savings and rent clearly evidenced
- Avoid missed payments, referral charges, or constantly being overdrawn.
- Set up a high interest savings account for regular savings
- Avoid short term and credit card debt where possible
