📌 30-Second Summary
Your credit score determines mortgage approval and rates you'll get.
How to improve it:
- ✅ Pay all bills on time (most important)
- ✅ Reduce existing debts below 30% utilization
- ✅ Don't apply for multiple credits at once
- ✅ Keep old accounts open (longer history = better)
- ✅ Check your ASNEF report for errors
Timeline: Improvements show in 3-6 months with consistent good behavior.
Best strategy: Start improving credit 6 months before applying for mortgage.
