The 5 C’s of Credit

Mortgage Tips Amy Tatla 27 Jan

While your credit score and income plays a big role in whether your mortgage application is approved, there are other factors that are just as important. ⁣
All lenders consider these “5 C’s” when doing an overall risk assessment of your file. ⁣
Collateral → property type, location, marketability⁣
Credit → beacon score, past credit history, issues and risks explanation.⁣
Capacity → ability to repay loan, explain the debts, job stability and income⁣
Capital → down payment amount and source, available closing costs⁣
Character → willingness to repay loan, integrity, stable employment⁣
