Five Common Mortgage Mistakes

HAVING A LARGE CREDIT CARD LIMIT
Kiwis are often wrongly told that having a big credit card limit help their credit score. But a

big limit can be a problem, when you apply for a mortgage. Banks calculate how well you
can service your home loan. Now, they tend to consider 3% of the total limit of your loan

facilities as a monthly expense. That's even if you pay off your balance each month, & even
if you never use your card. That's because you might put debts onto that card in the future,
so they have to count it as one of your expenses. Be aware of this if the bank's assessed

you and you're facing "affordability issues". If in doubt, cut your credit limit right down.
