Maximising the amount a lender will loan you isn't about trying to take on unmanageable levels of debt. It's a matter of taking a few simple but steps that could mean the difference between slaving in that 'fixer-upper' or owning your dream home.
Here are some simple steps to maximise your Borrowing Capacity:

Pay your bills on time every time! Late payments will effect your credit score.
-
Consolidate unsecured debts to reduce monthly repayments.
-
Avoid frequent changes of employment

Work with family to use security guarantor
