Analysis of 4,000 homebuyers by Mojo Mortgages has revealed that Nottingham is the UK\u2019s most mortgage-ready city. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The mortgage broker analysed the homebuyers’ data to rank 30 towns and cities in terms of the average mortgage readiness of their inhabitants with scores out of 1,000. Nottingham<\/a> scored first place with 694, closely followed by Stockport at 684 and Basildon at 669.<\/p>\n

Hull (600), Bolton<\/a> (595) and Manchester<\/a> (591) are all mid-ranking but, at the other end of the scale, Wolverhampton is the least \u2018mortgage-ready\u2019 with a score of 514. Wolverhampton accompanies Bristol (545) and Birmingham (562) at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n

According to the broker, people with scores between 400 and 500 are mortgage-ready but may require specialist lending products. The ideal score is 600, where customers gain access to the broadest range of mortgage products and therefore, a better chance of getting a good deal.<\/p>\n

In January, Mojo is planning to launch MortgageScore\u2122 to support customers who want to improve their chances of securing the best possible mortgage.<\/p>\n

Richard Hayes, chief executive and co-founder of Mojo Mortgages, said: \u201cA staggering 83% of our customers didn\u2019t know whether they had a good enough credit score<\/a> to get a mortgage. By launching this new service, customers won\u2019t be left in the dark about what they need to do to get mortgage-ready.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
