However, depending on individual circumstances, a higher deposit of 10-15% may be required, especially if you have a lower credit score or financial history that could make mortgage lenders more cautious in approving your application.
Instances of poor credit history, missed payments, or outstanding unsecured debt can cause mortgage lenders to be hesitant in approving a mortgage in Smethwick.
