What three things do you need before applying for a mortgage? Colin let's us know!

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
Consolidating debt may reduce your outgoings now, however you may pay more interest over your mortgage term.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

“I didn’t realise I should’ve started looking sooner…”

It’s something we hear all the time when people come to remortgage. Leaving it until the last minute can mean slipping onto a higher variable rate, and that can get expensive quickly.

Ideally, start reviewing your options around 6 months before your current deal ends. It gives you time to check for any early repayment charges, compare rates properly, and make sure your credit score, income and property value are all working in your favour.
