You might ace a credit score… but still get declined for a mortgage.
Why? Because affordability is a different calculation entirely.
📋 In our latest blog, we break down:
💡 What lenders really look for
💡 What goes into a credit score
💡 How affordability is assessed (hint: income, outgoings, and stress tests)
💡 Why both matter in the mortgage application process — and your exam
Designed for CeMAP students who want real-world understanding for Units 3–6.
