What can you afford?
The idea of budgeting may seem a little boring, but when you're taking out any new loan it's essential. A simple way of working out how much you can afford is to deduct your outgoings from your income - and remember to be realistic. Always take into account any existing borrowing when taking on new commitments.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP THE REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
