| How can YOU get the BEST deals on an online mortgage in the UK?
Answer:
- Do some research.
- Get written quotes from four lending companys.
- Improve your credit rating.
+ Don't just pick a lending company out of a newspaper. Ask your mates. Use the internet! This is a major purchase. Spend a wee bit of time shopping around.
+ Telephone quotes are not worth the paper they're printed on; get them in writing, and get more than one.
+ You can improve your mortgage credit rating by only having one or two credit-cards, and paying them off on time. Get rid of lines of credit you don't need.
+ The smaller you can make your mortgage , the better. Mortgages, like credit-cards, are an expensive way to get money. If you can beg or borrow from friends or relatives to bulk up your deposit, do so. You'll feel a lot happier if you're only paying a few hundred, rather than a grand, a month. | General Consumer Tip: Phrases that you may come across when looking for e-mortgages are:

| General Consumer Tip: Avoid One-of-a-kind products - Unless you're working with a large amount of wonga and can afford to have a hard-to-resell item, resist the temptation to invest in truly unique products. While this kind of item can be very enticing, keep in mind that it's going to appeal to a much smaller market. So if you find yourself in the future needing to sell the product it could be very difficult to find a buyer. You want to invest in the kind of "flexible" product that will appeal to the average buyer.
