Credit score check is a crucial element of house buying process. A good mortgage broker should check credit report prior to submitting a mortgage application as this document can help select the right lender and avoid hurdles in a house buying process.


The times we face currently might create extra financial pressures on many of us. Whether you are employed or self-employed you may be challenged by loss of income, you may struggle to meet your credit commitments, which, as a result, may damage your credit score. Your health is also never guaranteed so being unable to work due to illness may force you to take decisions that will affect your credit score and your ability to be able to re-mortgage or buy a house in future.


If you have never heard of credit score protection, we encourage you to speak to us to see what is available that might prevent you from drastically affecting your credit score during times when you won’t be able to work due to health reasons.



We now offer online video consultations to answer any questions you might have

Covid-19 has really shaken all aspects of our life and taking a mortgage may feel like walking through maze these days!

You may easily get lost looking at options and frequently changing lenders' criteria...😕

The rules on mortgages keep changing daily whether it be employment assessment or affordability criteria, the way lenders look at self-employed income, changing interest rates, different rules on deposit amounts and sources that are acceptable - it is really hard to keep up with all this when you are on your own. The last thing you want it to waste your time and nerves and risk being declined by the lender.
