You can afford it, so why is the bank saying no?

Being comfortable with the monthly payments does not always mean a lender will approve your mortgage.

Lenders need evidence. They need to understand exactly what income you receive, which parts of that income they can use, and how it should be proven.

This can become particularly confusing when you have bonuses, overtime, commission, self employed income, dividends, or multiple income streams.

The good news is that your income may not be the problem.

You may simply need a lender whose mortgage criteria suit your circumstances.

Before applying, make sure you understand what income can be used, how it needs to be evidenced, and which lender is more likely to view your application positively.

Message me INCOME and I will help you understand what a lender may actually look at.

Your bank statements tell a story.

When you apply for a mortgage, a lender may look beyond your salary.
Your recent bank statements can help show how you manage your money and whether the commitments you have declared match what is actually leaving your account each month.
Before applying, review your statements carefully. Look out for missed payments, unexplained transfers and unnecessary overdraft use where possible.
A little preparation now could make the mortgage process much smoother later.
Message me BANK and I’ll send you a simple mortgage ready checklist.

Don’t fall in love with the house first.
Before you start booking viewings, make sure you know what you could realistically borrow.
Your income, deposit and monthly commitments can all affect your mortgage affordability, so the property price you have in your head might not match the budget a lender is prepared to work with.
Getting those numbers checked first can save you disappointment, wasted viewings and rushed decisions later.
Know your budget first, then start looking.
Message me READY and I’ll explain the first steps.

Your State Pension might surprise you. đź‘€
Seeing the headline State Pension figure does not necessarily mean that is what you will personally receive.
Your State Pension forecast depends on your National Insurance record and your individual circumstances.
The quickest way to stop guessing is to check your forecast.
It can show you what you may receive, when you can claim it, and whether there are ways you may be able to improve your entitlement.
It only takes a few minutes, and it could make your retirement planning much clearer.
Go and check yours.
If you do not understand what it is telling you, ask me.

Worried about your first mortgage?
A little preparation can make the whole process feel much less daunting.
Before you start applying, get clear on exactly how much deposit you have, check your credit report for any missed payments, and pull together your latest payslips and bank statements.
That gives you a much clearer picture of where you stand before a lender looks at your application.
The goal is simple, put yourself in the strongest possible position before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

Worried a mortgage lender might say no?
Before you apply, there are a few things you can do to give yourself a better chance of approaching the right lender first time.
Check your credit report, make sure your income and outgoings are properly understood, and speak to a mortgage adviser before sending applications everywhere.
Different lenders have different criteria, so something that causes a problem with one lender may be acceptable to another.
The aim is not just to apply for a mortgage.
It is to apply to the right lender for your circumstances.
Message me FIRST HOME and we can look at your situation before the lender does.

Your salary doesn’t decide everything.
When you’re working out how much you can borrow for a mortgage, multiplying your income by four or four and a half does not always give you the real answer.
Mortgage lenders can also consider your debts, credit commitments, dependants, regular outgoings and how your income is earned.
That means two people earning exactly the same salary could potentially have very different mortgage borrowing options.
Before you fall in love with a property, find out what your realistic buying budget actually looks like.
Message me BORROW and I’ll help you work out where you stand.

Mortgages can feel like dark arts when every option sounds almost the same.

Fixed rate.

Variable rate.

Lower monthly payment.

More flexibility.

Cheapest headline rate.

Lowest overall cost.

It is no wonder first time buyers sometimes feel like they are supposed to magically know which one is right.

You are not.

The important thing is understanding what actually matters to you.

Would you rather know exactly what your payment will be each month?

Do you want more flexibility?

Are you likely to move or make changes in the next few years?

And most importantly, what does the mortgage actually cost overall once you look beyond the headline rate?

There is rarely one mortgage that is automatically “the best”.

There is usually one that fits your circumstances better than the others.

Once you know what matters to you, choosing becomes a lot less frightening.

And considerably less like mortgage dark arts.
