Tips to Improve Your Credit Score

Many first time buyers and home movers feel credit scoring is an unfair way of mortgage lenders assessing applications. Of course, the mortgage lenders feel differently about this, as it works out much cheaper and gives more consistent outcomes to minimise their risk.

If you’re worried about the credit scoring system for obtaining a mortgage, don’t fret. There are many mortgage lenders out there, each with their own scoring systems and criteria.

It can be helpful to obtain a copy of your credit report, when applying for a mortgage. If you send an up-to-date copy of your credit report to your mortgage advisor upfront and you will increase your chances of being accepted first time.
