In most cases, when purchasing a property in Smethwick with a mortgage, a minimum deposit of 5% is required by most lenders, calculated based on the property’s value.
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.
Therefore, a higher deposit may be necessary to demonstrate your financial stability and ability to repay the loan. It’s important to remember that a mortgage is a substantial loan, and mortgage lenders want to ensure that their applicants can meet their repayment obligations.

In a situation where multiple buyers express interest in a property and only one has an AIP, the seller is more likely to choose the buyer with an AIP as they have already received pre-approval, making the process more efficient.
An AIP is valid for 30-90 days, and once it expires, you must apply for a renewal. Fortunately, our mortgage advisors in Smethwick can generate an AIP within 24 hours of your mortgage appointment. Contact our team, and we will be delighted to assist you!
