How much can I borrow?

Some common issues include: 

  • Incorrect or incomplete information on the application: This can include errors in income, employment, or credit history, which can lead to a denied application or a higher interest rate. 
  • A credit score is not high enough: A low credit score can make it difficult to qualify for a mortgage or result in a higher interest rate.
  • Income verification issues: If a borrower is self-employed, they may have difficulty providing the necessary documentation to verify their income, or their payslips do not match declared income
  • Property issues: If the property being purchased has issues, such as poor condition, or issues over ownership and access rights
  • Change in financial conditions: If the borrower’s financial situation changes during the application process,  such as losing their job or taking on additional debt, it can affect their ability to qualify for a mortgage. 
  • It’s important to make sure all the information is accurate and complete and to work with a mortgage broker who understands your specific situation to help you navigate the mortgage process.
