Mortgage Broker London Tip 1
#1 Top Tip

Check your credit file after receiving any rejection for a credit application

If you don't find out why you've been rejected by checking your credit file and make further applications, each application worsens your credit score in turn.

If you discover an error, you might be able to get successive searches wiped but you'll have to negotiate with the relevant agency and lenders and success isn't guaranteed.

Tracker Mortgage

Tracker mortgages are in the wider class of variable rate mortgages and normally, the rate is a few percentage points above the prevailing Bank of England base rate. There is often a fixed term during which the arrangement operates, which is something in common with fixed rate mortgages.

The fixed term carries with it an early repayment charge if you choose to leave before it is ended. The interest charged at the outset is normally cheaper than for a fixed rate mortgage, however you are taking the risk that the rate might rise sharply, increasing the cost of your repayments in the same way. They therefore might not be attuned to buyers who have limited finances who cannot accommodate a sudden rate rise.

When a tracker mortgage has a lifetime – or length of the mortgage – term, there won't be an early repayment charge for leaving, but the risk of rates rising and making repayments very expensive remains.

Book your home buyers survey as soon as you have your offer accepted.

Getting a RICS home buyers survey is always recommended because you get an expert opinion on whether a property you want to buy has any defects which may give you grounds to bargain for a lower price with a vendor or even pull out.

Once you have instructed a RICS surveyor, it may take perhaps up to 10 days before they can carry out their inspection and then they may take five working days (or more) to get the report back to you. You should therefore keep delays to a minimum by booking your survey as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Leicester


The role of a mortgage broker is to take your information and compare multiple deals from different lenders, based on your specific details, to find you the best option.

The benefit of using a mortgage broker is having one expert doing the research and comparison for you, rather than dealing with multiple lenders who all want to sell you their own products. Our independent Leicester mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage product and aren't really interested in finding a better deal, it is always worth using a mortgage broker, and when your initial consultation is free with SAM Conveyancing, what have you got to lose?
Some homeowners want the convenience of borrowing with the same lender that they currently bank with. Even then, it is often worth going through a broker anyway, as they may be able to get you an exclusive offer from that very same bank that you won't have access to.
Most mortgage brokers make their money in a flat fee or a commission, which is paid to them by the lender. Some brokers charge a fee to the borrower which is normally payable as a flat fee, or it can be financed with the mortgage.
You'll need a mortgage approval in principle in order to budget, so you should get a mortgage broker before you start looking for houses and certainly before you make an offer on one. In fact, some people speak to a mortgage broker as soon as they decide to get serious about buying a home.
There's no need to meet a mortgage broker face to face. Our hand-selected mortgage experts offer convenient remote meetings by phone, for award-winning, national coverage.
A mortgage broker will be quicker purely based on their greater experience. They will be able to check your application to make sure it's not rejected for commonplace mistakes and they can steer you away from wasting your time applying for mortgage products or to lenders who are likely to turn you down.
*SAM Conveyancing has negotiated a FREE Mortgage Consultation with our panel mortgage broker. This allows you a free mortgage consultation to discuss your specific requirements and provide mortgage opportunities for the Service being requested. If you want to proceed with a formal mortgage application through your mortgage broker, then a mortgage application fee maybe payable. If there is a fee to pay for your mortgage application, it will be explained to you at the point of discussing your mortgage options.

You can disengage the services of your Mortgage Broker before making a formal application, and no fee will be levied.
