Some cases, buying a property and taking out a mortgage can be cheaper than privately renting. If you’ve thought about buying the property, you’re currently in from your landlord or housing association, and it’s worth checking your eligibility for the Right to Buy Scheme. Speaking to your local authority should allow clarification on this.

As your mortgage broker in Leeds, we carry out a Fact Find to establish your personal needs before we recommend the most suitable mortgage for you. A credit check is then required for an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, a formal mortgage offer can be issued.
To avoid possible disappointment, we recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle before you begin viewing properties in Leeds. At the very latest you should obtain one prior to making an offer to assist your bargaining position.
An Agreement in Principle typically lasts for between 30 and 90 days depending on the Lender used. If your Agreement in Principle expires it can always be refreshed.
It may be possible to get a second mortgage on your home for things like debt consolidation or Home Improvements. It may also be possible to take out a mortgage on a second property if you’re wanting to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let.
