Home Buyers Guide - Introduction

4. Improve your chances of getting a mortgage

The credit crunch has made it more difficult to get finance to buy a home. We’ll outline the steps you need to take to improve your chances of getting mortgage approval.

Before we get started, I’d suggest you print a copy of this guide right now.

Sit down for half an hour with a tea or coffee and have a quick read through it. You’ll get an overview of what
involved and where to start. Then over the coming months you can use it as a reference, which you can dip in and out of as you need to.

And if you haven’t done so already, I’d recommend that you put together a folder for all the paperwork, brochures and documents which you’ll amass over the next few months (and keep a copy of this guide in the folder).
