Getting to know the process inside out will help ensure there are a few issues as possible along the way, which will reduce the chances of stressful delays.
Find Out How Much You Can Borrow
One of the first things you should do is contact your bank or mortgage broker to find out how much money you can borrow. Add this amount to the savings you intend to use to buy your home, and you will know the maximum amount that you can spend. Be sure to factor in fees and charges, stamp duty, and any other amounts you will have to pay other than the price of the property you will buy. Once you have figured out how much you can spend on your home, you can search for a property.
Get Pre-Approval
You might want to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you put an offer on the property you like. To do this, your mortgage broker will need documents that verify your income, identity etc.
You will have to complete a home loan application form and it will be sent to the lender for approval. If approved, you can be confident that you will be able to obtain the finance you need on the property you like, subject to valuation.
The pre-approval status will only last for a few months. If it expires you may need to seek pre-approval again if you are still looking for a property to buy.
Get the Property Valued
Once you have had an offer on a property accepted, you will need to get it valued by a professional surveyor. This is done to ensure the lender that they aren’t lending more money to you than the property is actually worth.
If you are overpaying on the property – in the surveyor’s opinion – the lender might not approve the mortgage. If the surveyor believes you are paying a fair price, you should receive full approval for the mortgage from your lender.
Full Approval
If your survey comes back positive, and all costs have been met, you should receive full approval from your lender. After this, you will receive a letter of offer. Be sure to check the letter thoroughly to make sure all details are accurate. Remember – your mortgage may well be the biggest finance product you ever have so any mistakes can be costly.
Settlement
After all of the above steps have occurred, the mortgage can be settled. Your solicitor will receive the funds from the lender and will pass them on to the seller’s solicitor. The funds will be added to any deposit money you have contributed in order to pay the seller the price you previously agreed to pay for the property.
