How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term. A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.
