How to apply for a mortgage with a low credit score?

by Emily John Digital Marketing Service Provider

The procedure for applying for guaranteed car loans with bad credit is the same as the procedure for applying for a mortgage with a high credit score. Choose a car model, shop, compare lenders, and approach your favourite lender.

But the big difference is that if you get a mortgage with a low credit score, you have to pay higher interest. A typical loan costs more and needs to be paid off with a larger EMI or in a longer period of time.

Tips for getting a proper mortgage even with low credit

1. Work on improving your credit score before you go buy a car

A credit score is a three-digit numerical score that lenders use to evaluate your creditworthiness. The higher the number, the more likely you are to get a loan on favourable terms. Credit scores are calculated based on past loans, credit card invoice repayments, and another credit history such as EMI.

2. Offer to pay a large amount of down payment

The best way to ensure that your mortgage is approved with a low credit score is to offer a large amount of down payment. In general, most lenders do not approve a loan of 100% of the vehicle's road price. The loan amount covers only 80% of the car price. The borrower has to pay the rest out of his pocket. Centreline Finance will help you in getting your car loan with bad credit.

3. Invite co-signers

Borrowers usually do not need a guarantor / co-signer to apply for a mortgage. However, if your credit score is low, consider including a co-signer in your loan application.

A co-signer is someone who takes out a loan with you. If the primary borrower defaults, he/she is responsible for paying the loan. Ideally, the co-signer should be someone with a good credit score.

4. Choose a cheap car and skip the extras

A low credit score means that you can't get a big loan. This means that you will not be able to buy the latest sports cars / SUVs. Instead, choose an economy car and compromise on additional features such as premium leather seats and sunroofs to reduce your total mortgage.

5. Final resource: Find out about dealer financing

Most car dealerships are linked to major lenders (banks and NBFCs), making it easy for clients to get a mortgage. However, the biggest drawback of this method is that the loan you get directly from the dealer is expensive. Interest rates are high. On the positive side, the qualification criteria are not strict, so you can get a loan quickly.
