Mortgages
The mortgage market has never been so competitive,
so much so that most mortgage companies currently
offer cashback incentives or reduced interest
rates to attract your business, which is great
news for the general public, especially if you
shop around regularly to obtain the best deal
to match your circumstances. These incentives
are often big enough to reduce debt problems to
a manageable level, or to enable you to clear
them completely. If you have not had your mortgage
appraised within the last 24 months, we recommend
you speak to one of our advisers, you may be pleasantly
surprised at the savings you could make.
Credit Cards & Store
Cards
Paying off the minimum amount of your credit cards
each month costs you a fortune. If you were to
borrow £1000 on a standard rate credit card,
and pay the minimum payment each month, you would
pay back approximately two and a half times the
amount you borrowed, and it would take about eighteen
years to pay it back!
If you were to tear up your credit cards and
add the borrowing to a new mortgage or consolidation
loan at a keen rate, you could save yourself literally
thousands of pounds.
Overdrafts
As with credit & store cards, if you are constantly
using an overdraft facility, you are likely to
be paying very high interest charges. If this
borrowing were transferred to a low interest rate
loan or added to your existing mortgage, your
monthly outgoings can be reduced significantly.
