Your credit score is an important factor in determining if you will qualify for a loan and what loan terms you will be able to qualify for. Here are some tips on how to improve your credit:

 1.      Check for and correct errors in your credit report.  

2.      Pay down credit card bills.  

3.      Don´t charge your credit cards to the maximum limit. 

4.     Don´t purchase expensive items e.g. furniture for your new home on credit cards until the loan is approved. The amounts will add to your debt. 

5.      Don´t open new credit card accounts before applying for a mortgage. This will also lower your credit score.
