- You need a 10% deposit to buy a house – Not true, if you have been renting over a year you don’t even need a deposit, otherwise you can use anything from 5% upwards
- I’m self employed, it’s really difficult to get a mortgage – Nope! As long as you have been self employed for at least a year, we can get you a mortgage
- I need three payslips to get a mortgage – Nope, as long as you have a contract you can get a mortgage, even without your first payslip
- Rates are really high at the moment! – Actually, fixed rates are coming down even though the base rate has been going up
