Consider what the mortgage lender offers
1 July 2008
A mortgage lender may offer you an entirely different home loan to the one you expect, so you would do well to familiarise yourself with what a mortgage lender can offer before you approach them. It's not too hard to find out the kinds of loans that are available from a specific mortgage lender, but you could find yourself accepting an unsuitable loan if you are offered one that you are unaware of.
While a mortgage lender should be able to offer a suitable home loan, they will not be able to do so if they are not entirely familiar with your financial situation. As you should know the extent of your financial means intimately before applying for a home loan, by knowing all the products a mortgage lender has to offer you can better negotiate the one that will do you the greatest good.
