Avoid Adverse Credit Surprises
Before applying for a mortgage in the UK, it’s essential to check your credit files. This helps you identify any adverse credit history, such as missed payments, defaults, or CCJs (County Court Judgments). Knowing your credit standing before you begin your UK Expat Mortgage application means you can address any issues before they cause you a problem or become an obstacle to your mortgage application. A proactive approach enhances your chances of securing a favourable mortgage deal.
Unveiling Hidden Surprises
From our long experience individuals can sometimes forget about certain financial commitments or accounts that could impact their creditworthiness. This seems to be more the case when people live or work abroad but still have a foothold in the UK. Checking your UK credit files helps unveil any such hidden surprises, allowing you to address them before they could potentially derail your mortgage application. It’s better to deal with these surprises beforehand rather than encountering them unexpectedly during the application process.
