Applying for a mortgage.
The rules for banks offering mortgages that don't meet the strict 10/20pc deposit criteria cannot be applied for by borrowers; lenders apply them as they see fit to applications exceeding their criteria.
Experience to date suggests that exceptions are applied to well-packaged and presented cases which typically show strong savings record, stable employment and a good level of earnings.
Trevor Grant of Lets talk Finance advises borrowers to engage a professional and qualified independent mortgage specialist to ensure that their application is packaged and presented properly.
One other key piece of advice for anyone thinking of buying a home in the new year is to apply early as exceptions ran out toward the end of 2015 and there is no reason to believe the same will not happen in 2016."
