Work on your credit score

[privateproperty]

Your credit history is one of the first things that the lending institutions look at when they review your home loan application. It clearly outlines a person’s financial and credit performances in the past which holds a serious weighting as to whether or not you qualify for a loan, the amount you qualify for and the interest rate you stand to pay.

You are entitled to apply for a credit report on yourself every year from the government credit bureau, free of charge. You should carefully analyse your report before applying for your home loan so that you can take steps to improve it wherever you can. Be on the lookout for incorrect records and if there are any mistakes, write to the credit bureau in question, explaining what needs to be changed and why. Remember to send your requests through with all the necessary supporting documentation wherever necessary.
