5 ways to make the mortgage market work for you

The mortgage market moves pretty fast – particularly at the moment. Housing minister Grant Shapps has just launched the NewBuy Guarantee, which aims to help an estimated 100,000 Britons buy their dream home with deposits of as little as £10,000.

Here are some pointers to help you make the most of the support available and ensure you get the best possible mortgage deal.
