Moving Up - Choosing
a Mortgage Lender
If you're selling to move to a bigger home, you start with a major
advantage - the proceeds from the sale of your last property.
As an established borrower with a good credit
history and a potentially substantial deposit, you will be an ideal
customer for mortgage lenders and there could be a good deal of
competition for your business.
Use this to your advantage and shop around for the best mortgage
deal. Generally, the higher the proportion of the property price you borrow, the
higher the rate your mortgage lender will charge. So the more you can put down
as a deposit, the better your chances of getting a lower mortgage rate with cheaper
repayments. You can test this by experimenting with our Mortgage
Search tool.
Getting the Best Mortgage Deal
In addition to a competitive mortgage rate, you may find that lenders
offer special incentives such as discount and cash back elements
to their mortgages. Your best mortgage deal may not be immediately
obvious, so it always helps to take expert advice.
One important point, however, is to be wary of
conditions that tie you in to a mortgage once the special offer
period has ended. If you are required to stay with a particular
mortgage lender for a period of time after the offer, you could
find yourself faced with the unpleasant choice of paying a higher
mortgage rate than you have to or facing a large financial penalty
to move to another mortgage lender.
