Frequently asked questions
What Proof Do You Need of My Identity and Income?
Typically, the documents you might need to provide include: three months of payslips; bank statements; proof of identity; proof of address; proof of deposit; existing mortgage statement (if applicable) and business accounts or SA302’s if you are self-employed.
What does a decision in principle mean?
A decision in principle shows what a lender could be prepared to lend you. It’s also known as a mortgage in principle or an agreement in principle. It’ll give you an idea of what you can afford – handy for when you start looking for your dream home.
However, a full mortgage application must be completed to secure a formal mortgage offer. That bit comes once you’ve offer accepted on the house you want to purchase.
What’s the difference between a fixed-rate mortgage and a variable-rate mortgage?
With a fixed-rate mortgage, the amount you pay stays the same for an agreed term. This gives you peace of mind knowing your monthly repayments won’t change within that term – making budgeting easier.
By contrast, with a variable-rate mortgage, the amount you pay can go up and down with the Bank of England base rate.
Not sure what the base rate is? It influences the interest rates that lenders charge for things, such as mortgages and other loans. So, if the base rate rises, your monthly repayments are likely to go up, and vice versa.
How can I pay off my mortgage more quickly?
If you want to pay off your mortgage more quickly, you could look at making overpayments. Most of the lenders allow 10% annual overpayments without incurring early repayment charges. Do check lender’s terms and conditions.
How long will house purchase take?
Usually it takes from 6- 12 weeks. Mortgage process is just a tiny piece in the purchase puzzle! Conveyancing work usually takes most of the time, therefore pay attention when choosing a conveyancer.
Can I take a new credit card/ loan whilst in the mortgage process?
Avoid taking any new credit commitments, as no matter that you have received a formal mortgage offer, before releasing funds, the lender might do an additional credit check and the offer might be pulled off.
What is max age for a mortgage?
There is no single answer to this. Most of the lenders lend up to the 70th birthday of an older applicant. However, there are many who go beyond! Don't forget there are retirement mortgages too.
How long should I fix my mortgage for?
There’s a range of factors to consider here, including interest rates, mortgage costs, and also your particular plans.
Within the market, deals typically vary from two-year fixed-rate deals, through to 10-year fixed-rate deals.
You may warm to the idea of your monthly repayments staying the same for a decade. But remember that if your circumstances change and you do need to sell during that time, you could face large early repayment charges.
If you think you might end up moving in a few years, a shorter deal could be more appropriate.
Can I get a mortgage with adverse credit?
Depending on your situation and what kind of adverse you have, it might be possible to obtain a mortgage. If not from one of the high street lenders, then one of the specialist lenders might look at it.
