THE NEXT STEP...

At some point you are likely to be asked for a copy of your credit report. All brokers or advisors will want as much information about your credit history as possible, in order for them to offer you the best possible advice.
Many of us aren't aware of what shows up on our credit reports and you might be surprised at what you will find! So, it's always a good idea to take a look at the information yourself and know what the banks see; because they use the information to help decide if they will lend you any money, how much they might lend you and what interest rate to charge you.
There are hundreds of potential mortgage lenders and each with their own preferred client 'types'. Simply having this bit of extra information about your finances will help your broker guide you through the minefield and look at which lenders are most suited to you!
There are lots of ways to access this information (usually at a some sort of cost), but we have added a convenient link below to checkmyfile.com who offer a FREE 30 Day trial* so you can access your credit file at no charge.
