First Time Buyers Blackpool

Buying your first property can be both exciting and daunting. There are important decisions to make and various criteria to consider before you take your first steps onto the property ladder. Mortgages By Louise is here to guide you through this journey with expert advice and personalised support.

Be Realistic: Start by realistically assessing how much you can afford to spend on your new home. It’s essential to ensure that your intended mortgage is manageable on a monthly basis. Obtaining a Decision in Principle certificate is a wise step, as it gives you a clear idea of how much you can offer once you find the right property. Remember to factor in additional expenses such as furnishings, re-flooring, tiling, or electrical work for older properties, as well as fees like conveyancing and stamp duty.

Help to Buy: If you’re considering purchasing a new build house and want to take advantage of the government’s Help to Buy scheme, Mortgages By Louise can assist. With experience dealing with major builders and developers, we offer expert services to help you understand how much you can borrow and navigate the process smoothly.

Best Ways to Improve Your Credit Score:

Improving your credit score is crucial when applying for a mortgage. Here are some effective steps:

Register on the Electoral Roll: Lenders often check this to verify your identity. Register to vote online or by post to avoid issues.

Check for Mistakes on Your File: Ensure all details on your credit file are correct. Any errors, such as wrong addresses or misspellings, can negatively impact your score.

Pay Your Bills on Time: Timely payments on direct debits or credit agreements show lenders that you manage your finances well. Set up direct debits for minimum payments on credit cards to avoid missing them.

Check if You’re Linked to Another Person: Joint accounts or previous applications can link your credit to someone else’s score. Ensure their credit rating doesn’t affect yours.

Check for Fraudulent Activity: Report any incorrect or unfamiliar information on your credit report to the credit reference agency immediately.

Manage County Court Judgements (CCJs): CCJs can severely impact your credit score. If you’re struggling with payments, seek advice from creditors or find free debt advice online.
