Shape replied to the topic Applying for a Credit Card in the forum Finance 14 years, 3 months ago
Depends on:
1. Which bank
2. Which card ( gold, plat etc…)
3. The credit limitNormally if you apply for the CC with your own bank that you do banking with they would only ask for payslips and that’s it….very easy and straight forward.
Also since you have a IP- your mortgage lender would provide a free CC most of the time.

More hits = desparate ( as Terry mentioned )
MOST ppl once they get their first approval- they normally go with that.
Normally 2 outcomes with active credit file
1. You got rejected by the another banks (something to hide? something we don’t know?)

A lot of ppl would tell you to use a trust, as it will give you the flexabililty of shifting the tax position and ownership year by year + protection.
However to keep things simple- you can buy it in both names and have a nominated % ( more for the higher income owner…you)- the slae contract will have this as ” Tenants in Common” – and you will…[Read more]

Simple answer- no you can’t….
You can’t use credit to pay for credit- The credit card company don’t care! but they will chagre you interest on it from day ONE ( it’s not interest free!! as it’s a cash in advance…not a “purchase”) …the bank however will not lend you the money if you used credit to pay for credit + the bank always write out a…[Read more]

Hi,
To compare the fee’s it depends on Location?

It sound like your using your own cash for the 10%….
then your applying for a 100% finance from equity release/X-cross etc..If that’s the case, then No you won’t get your money back as the bank will not subsidize you for your part….they will only finance the purchase directly

Having a DB is about protection and flexabililty as well…not just about cost….if it comes down to cost- then yes DB will lose out “most” of the time ( the DB is a business …they need to make money ^^)

Your kitchen is fine….i would just paint over with Cupboard paint ( i think the brand is called “Knight” $50 for a small tin) + change handle.
Also as another posters mentioned, if this property is in a affluent area, then that would be a different story…
