Is my interest rate guaranteed? It is important to ask the lender how long they guarantee the quoted interest rate. Some lenders guarantee the rate for 20, 30, 45, 60 or 90 days. Other lenders may only agree to set a rate when the loan is approved. On occasion, lenders will not set a rate for the loan until just before closing. A longer guarantee period allows you to protect the rate for a longer length of time, which could be beneficial to you in a volatile interest rate market. Also, be sure to inquire whether long guarantee periods are available and what additional costs may be involved.

How Much House Can You Afford? Debt-to-Income Ratios To determine your maximum mortgage amount, lenders use guidelines called debt-to-income ratios. This is simply the percentage of your monthly gross income (before taxes) that is used to pay your monthly debts. Because there are two calculations, there is a front ratio and a back ratio and they are generally written in the following format: 33/38.

The policy providers themselves highlight these gaps. They are obliged to send out letters to policyholders detailing projected performances of their endowments, based on a range of different possible returns. With other investments, though, the onus is on the homeowner to check that things are going the right way.

Pre-Approving Your Loan

What if I want to change insurance companies? You may choose to change insurance companies at any time, but the procedure you follow will depend on whether you make this change mid-term (before the current policy expires), or when your current policy is up for renewal: Changing Mid-term - If we collect funds through escrow for your insurance and have already paid the premium for your current policy, we do not have funds to pay the new policy. In this situation, you must pay the premium for the new policy yourself and send us a copy of the new policy along with a paid receipt so we may update our system. You should also cancel the old insurance policy, and request a refund of any unused premium. When changing insurance companies, the effective date of the new policy must be the same as the cancellation date of the old policy, so there is no lapse in coverage.

15, 30 Year Jumbo Programs A jumbo mortgage is a mortgage loan which is larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($240,000 as of 1/1/99). Since these two agencies will not purchase these types of loans, they usually carry a higher interest rate (to enhance their value and marketability to investors).

Should I choose a fixed rate or adjustable rate loan? Fixed rate loans have a stated interest rate that does not change over the life of the loan, whereas the rates on adjustable rate loans are linked to an index and change as the index rate changes. Many mortgages, such as a 5-Year Fixed (30 Year), start as a fixed rate loan and then convert to an adjustable rate. Adjustable rate loans have more risk due to the possibility that the interest rate could increase. However, because you are assuming some of the risk the lender will generally reward you with a lower interest rate. These loans are best for borrowers who do not plan on keeping the loan for the full term. Learn more about fixed and adjustable rate mortgages

Repayment Plans - These are verbal agreements allowing you to make a full payment and late charge plus a portion of another payment each month until you bring your loan current. These plans typically last no longer than four months. For example, if you are unable to make your payment this month, you may be allowed to establish a repayment plan where you would make one and one-half payments (plus late charge) next month and the following month to bring your loan current.

Provide your mortgage company with documents in a timely manner If you let your rate lock expire, you could end up paying higher rates.

Last-minute maneuvers Closer to closing, borrowers also have to watch out for counteroffers from their current mortgage servicers or lenders. When borrowers refinance their loans, their new lenders request payoff letters from their old lenders. These letters spell out exactly how much the old lenders are entitled to at closing and are often the only indication that a borrower is refinancing.

If, on the other hand, you are unwilling to start pouring even more of your money into the stock market for fear of watching it disappear down the drain, there are other options. It is relatively easy to transfer from an interest-only to a repayment mortgage, and most lenders will let you do so, although you might have to pay a fee of, say, £50, says David Hollingworth of London & Country mortgages.
