How does a bid certificate work?
Obtaining a bid certificate involves a few simple steps:
- Financial Check: You discuss your financial situation with a mortgage advisor, who looks at your income, savings, and any debts. This is used to calculate how much you can borrow.
- Provide Documents: You submit documents such as recent payslips and a summary of loans to support your situation.
- Certificate Receipt: Based on this information, you receive a bid certificate that specifies what amount is financially feasible for you.
You can then use this certificate to convince sellers of your reliability as a buyer.
