Holding off on the mortgage
Wednesday August 20, 2008
If you cannot find a mortgage company that will accept you, you may want to consider holding off on taking out a mortgage. Even if you feel strongly that you would be able to repay a mortgage, if you cannot find a mortgage company that will agree with you it is unlikely that you will be able to get a good deal anyway.
Saving a sizeable deposit can be an excellent way of improving your appearance to a mortgage company. Another positive to saving now is that interest rates will be on your side instead of working against you. While it is true that continuing to rent will mean you cannot save as much as you would put towards a home loan, interest that the mortgage company charges would also negatively impact the amount that is being put towards paying off your principal amount.
