A credit score, sometimes known as a credit rating, is a number that is a representation of your reliability when it comes to borrowing and repaying money from lenders. 💳
The higher the number, the better your score. 📈✔️ This means that if you have a higher credit score, you are more likely to be approved for credit, be it a mortgage, loan, or credit card.
Your credit score is based on how you have handled your finances in the past and is determined using your credit report, which is created using information such as how you manage your bank accounts, information from the electoral register, details of any bankruptcies, and a record of any credit you've held.
We always recommend speaking to a mortgage broker, even if you’re just starting out in your mortgage journey. 👋
