Mortgage Broker London Tip 1
#1 Top Tip

Don't apply for credit unless you absolutely need it

While taking up a small amount of credit and paying it back on time is helpful for improving your score if you've not had credit before, as a general rule you should not use credit to pay for something unless you absolutely need to.

Each time you apply for credit, a hard inquiry is made into your credit worthiness and of itself this negatively impacts your credit score. So one way to keep your score higher is to limit these hard inquiries. Besides, if you can afford to pay for something outright, you'll avoid having to pay out extra in the longer term in interest payments.

Remortgage

When you already have a mortgage in place, there are various reasons why you might want to renew your mortgage or change providers. This is called getting a remortgage. You might have come to the end of a fixed interest term period, for example, and be seeking a new fixed interest term rather than going on to your lender's standard variable rate, or you might want to get a lump sum to carry out a loft conversion.

Get all your signed documentation to your solicitor in advance if you want to give yourself more chance of a faster conveyancing process in Kent.

Your conveyancing solicitor can't exchange contracts with the other side until they receive your mortgage deed, transfer deed, signed contract and so on. Originals of these documents, or at least some originals, may be required by your solicitor, and if so, you may need to post them.

It's a good idea if you have to use Royal Mail, to send as much correspondence as you can together and make sure to use recorded delivery. This way, the documents can be tracked, and you can find out when your mail was received and who signed for it. This is never best left to chance - you might lose your documents, which will slow down your conveyancing considerably, and you will have to wait for replacements into the bargain.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Kent


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 Kent 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.
