One thing I wish more people did before taking on a mortgage

5 Feb 2026 · 0:44 · Watch on YouTube

Description

One of the best tips I’ve picked up actually came from a client.

Before even applying for a home loan, they used an online mortgage repayment calculator, plugged in the price they thought they’d buy at in a few years, and then started saving that exact repayment amount each week.

The money came straight out of their pay into a separate savings account, just like a real mortgage would.

By the time they applied, they had a strong deposit, a proven savings habit, and confidence they could manage the repayments.

They even increased the amount whenever interest rates went up to mimic real life. Simple, but very effective.
