The information required is treated confidentially by GoldAcre Estates and the banks and most applications can be approved within 10-14 days, with some as fast as 48 hours.
GoldAcre Estates will provide you with a printed, detailed breakdown of all the costs involved in purchasing; an estimation of the amount of money that could be raised through a mortgage; the costs (if any) of acquiring and the cost of servicing that loan. This projected costing can then be presented to the bank to help your application for a mortgage. Information and documentation required by the lenders depends on whether the applicant is employed or self-employed. We have a guide as to what you will need to produce to the bank for the different Countries that we operate in. The mortgage provider will also usually require an inspection/survey for which there is a charge If you are purchasing overseas then, GoldAcre Estates can suggest banks that would be favourable to your circumstances, can speak your language and introduce you to the bank managers.
