A couple of Usually Asked Mortgage Inquiries

Read More About Mortgage

Loads of people are wanting to take out a mortgage and there are a load of questions that you may want to ask. So here are a few of the most popular mortgage related questions answered for you!

How Much Might I Borrow?
A tricky question! This depends on whether you are arranging the mortgage on your own or with a partner. Typically, if you are buying on your own you will be able to borrow around 4 times your wage or if you are borrowing with a partner, then 3 times your joint income. But, this might vary by bank and depending on your other current outgoings and debts.

Where Are The Cheapest Mortgages?
Another popular and nigh on impossible to answer question! Only because a lender advertises an impossibly good mortgage rate does not mean that it is open to all. There will possibly be restrictions such as you may need to place at least a 25% deposit and have an impeccable credit history. Break either of these terms and you might find that the offered rate is heaps higher.

The only way to find the best rate is to know which banks are most potential to be willing to work with you for your circumstances and which of these are offering the best rate.

Should I Have A Repayment Or An Interest Only Mortgage?
The idea of the interest merely mortgage product is that you have an investment that raises enough cash at the end of the mortgage term to pay off the mortgage. But recently building societies are seeing more borrowers struggling to pay off their interest only mortgages at the end of the term and lots of are therefore not accepting any more new interest just applications. Therefore, you may not have a choice in the situation, but it looks as even though the banks would recommend the repayment option.

Do I Need A Deposit?
It used to be that the answer to this was 'No', but then the world wide credit crunch struck home. Building societies will no longer give you 125% of your home's value on your mortgage, so you do need a deposit. Most building societies will also offer the best rates for those borrowers able to put down the biggest deposits. If you are able to place a deposit of 25% or more of the property's value, then you will probably be one of the building society's preferred customers and be offers a rate to match.

My Credit Is Not Exactly Whiter Than White - Can I Get A Mortgage?
It depends only how bad your credit report is. If it is very bad then perhaps not, but there are a few building societies that specialise in lending to customers with credit problems. There might be a few extra criteria to consider, for example a bigger deposit than normal and it is prospective that the interest rate charged will be higher than normal. But having a bad credit history does not always mean that you will not be eligible for a mortgage.

Hopefully, this will answer a lot of your questions. If you have any more that you would like me to try to answer, only leave a comment!
