Mortgage penalties find out what they are before you buy: If any changes to your circumstances might cause you to have to sell your home before the end of the mortgage term penalties will doubtless apply. Be sure to check these with your lender or if you’re working with a broker they will do this for you.

Could you benefit from a down payment of less than 20 You might be surprised to learn that making a down payment of 20 does not guarantee that you get the best interest rate. Lenders actually offer their best rates of interest to what are known as ‘high-ratio’ borrowers those individuals who need mortgage insurance because they have less than 20 to put down on a mortgage.

It’s always possible to get the best deal on a mortgage for your circumstances provided you conduct thorough research and have a good understanding of the terms conditions and small print involved. But if you want to guarantee that you get the very best deal it really does pay to work with a mortgage broker who will give you unbiased advice guidance and tips.
