Owen Ferguson, manager at JMMB Bank’s Knutsford Boulevard branch, urges individuals in the market for a home, to prepare their finances, as early as a year before approaching a financial institution to apply for a mortgage. “You only get one chance to make a good first impression and so you want to ensure that your credit history has no surprises and that where necessary, you take corrective measures where you have outstanding debt, as this can affect your loan application,” said Ferguson.
