First Mortgage? Guidance from Your Mortgage Advisory Team

Getting Pre-Approved with Your Advisor

Obtaining lender pre-approval is an essential starting point we guide new buyers through.  Pre-approval letters estimate your qualified borrowing amount based on financial profile analysis - income, existing debts, credit, and available down payment funds.

Why get pre-approved? Key advantages include:

• Home Shopping Confidence – Approval in hand grants certainty to start viewing and avoid disappointment 

• Competitive Offer Leverage – Secured financing packs more offer power, especially amidst bidding wars

• Faster Eventual Approval – Verification and documentation is established upfront to streamline full underwriting 

Down Payment Recommendations  

Clients often ask what down payment they should save for their first mortgage in Manchester. The good news? Far more flexibility now exists thanks to advisors guiding buyers toward low-down payment mortgage products.
