    Very informative vid. When we bought our house (we had bought before so we should hav known) - the walls everywhere were lovely and smooth and painted perfectly lol; we moved in and the pictures frames had all gone - they were hiding holes of bad DIY EVERYWHERE!! When I next buy a house I will ask for all frames on the walls to n taken down in 2nd viewing. Beware!!! Xxxxx.

    It’s really interesting to see how it’s worked for you. We didn’t have to show bank statements at all for our mortgage, with one of us self employed and one employed. For my boyfriend who is self employed he had to show 3 years end of tax which thankfully we’re all very similar: then for me being employed I only needed 3 months payslips.
    It’s amazing how different everywhere is with what they need to see from you. We’re just waiting for the solicitors to sort out questions then it’s time to pay for everything (deposit, stamp
    Duty, solicitors fees) and then complete:
    Good luck with the next steps for you guys buying. I’m very much a believer that if something doesn’t work out it isn’t meant to be and something better with be out there for you

    Mortgage Loan Officer for a credit union in the US here... yes, what your income says you can afford and what you actually WANT to afford are usually two very different numbers and it’s something we definitely highlight! Most First Time buyers get excited about their preapproval amount, and it’s my job to visit with them about what they’d pay per month if they purchase up to their preapproval amount. Once you’re looking for your 2nd, third, etc house, most people are much more keen on not wanting to be ‘house broke’. I get nervous for people that choose to purchase at their full preapproval amount.
    Regarding documentation needed for preapproval, it’s going to depend upon the borrowers unique situation. Nice video!!!

    @surging3549 4 роки тому +2

    Some confusing parts in this. Your deposit is partly linked to how much you can borrow, if are 'accepted' for a 300k mortgage and have a 50k deposit, you wont have 350k to play with at all lol; you'll have the equity the bank will loan you based on the downpayment/deposit. So you'll still have effectively 300k~.
    mortgage advisors can also access financial aid/loans that aren't available to banks/other people through certain underwriters - so it's always worth going to an independant advisor first, and your bank last.

    • @anisoniarukeme4655
      @anisoniarukeme4655 4 роки тому +1

      Nah she’s right, if you get a 300k mortgage which is the amount the bank are willing to give you and you also have 50k deposit then essentially you have 350k to buy a house, 50k in this scenario would be roughly 14% deposit which is acceptable for most lenders!

    • @LaraJoannaJarvis
      @LaraJoannaJarvis  4 роки тому +4

      If you do help to buy you borrow up to 20% of the property price from the government, after 5 years interest free this then needs to be paid back to them, (usually by remortgaging) unless you choose to continue the loan with interest. The mortgage is a separate debt and is paid off normally. Hope that helps
