Things we’re ghosting this October 👻
🧮 Online mortgage calculators
They’re handy for a rough idea, but they don’t take your full circumstances into account. What a lender might actually offer you could be quite different.
🏡 Rightmove, before knowing your budget.
We’ve all been guilty of a little scrolling, but before you fall in love with a house, find out what you can realistically afford. Get your Decision in Principle sorted first!
🧍♂️Mortgage advice from someone who bought their house in 1998.
We know they mean well, but the mortgage market has changed quite a bit since they bought their first home. What worked for them might not work for you.
🔄 Accepting your current lender’s renewal offer without comparing your options.
Staying with your current lender might be the best option, but you won’t know until you’ve looked at what else is available. A mortgage advisor can compare both routes and advise you on what makes the most sense for your circumstances.
