It is far from uncommon that when people make up their minds to apply for loans of all types, including mortgages, remortgages and secured loans that it will help them to be approved for the loan if they state facts that are rather exaggerated, and they believe that they will be approved more quickly.
This is certainly not correct, as the only thing that will happen is that the lack of truth will only cause problems and make the loan approval slower than it other wise would be.
When applying for a mortgage to buy a property, whether it is a first time buy or for moving house, the applicant must first of all fill in an application form that will ask about income, outgoings in credit cards, loans, etc.
The application even asks what the prospective borrower spends weekly on food, utility bills, entertainment, etc.,
When a homeowner wants to obtain a better interest rate at the end of his current mortgage period, he will often apply for a remortgage which involves changing mortgage lenders. At other times the borrower will remortgage to obtain extra money that can be used for almost anything. In the case of remortgages the exact same sort of application form must be completed
When applying for secured loans, an application form must also be completed and the same questions as for remortgages and mortgages are asked
If anyone augments their income to make the application appear better, the true income will be discovered as soon as th lender receives the original wage slips required.
The lender will also require the applicant to produce three months bank statements, and if the borrower has under stated his outgoings, this again will be obvious when the bank statements are checked by the lender.
The bottom line is that if you do not tell the true facts when applying for a remortgage, mortgage or secured loan, your application will be at best delayed.
