MORTGAGES
Whole of Market Mortgage Advice
We work with all types of clients, from first time buyers to portfolio landlords. No two cases are ever the same, but what doesn’t change is our commitment to providing the best advice as clearly as possible. The best mortgage for you is often the cheapest one, but cost isn’t the only consideration we take into account.
Not all applicants will meet every lender’s criteria and the time lenders take to process a case from application to offer can vary from hours to months, are just a couple of the factors we consider for every client.
Help and Advice for FIRST TIME BUYERS
We understand the heady mixture of excitement and trepidation that comes with buying your first home and look to make the whole process as stress-free as possible. Alongside finding you the best mortgage we are happy to provide as much guidance as you need with the rest of the process, be that dealing with estate agents, submitting offers, choosing solicitors or surveyors.
It’s never to early to start planning for your first purchase so please feel free to get in touch to discuss your options.
Moving Home
There’s no getting away from the fact that moving home can be a stressful experience, we aim to minimise this stress as much as we can. As well as finding you the best mortgage we are happy to provide you with as much help as you need with the rest of the process. We are happy to guide you when it comes to choosing your solicitors, estate agent, surveyor or movers and are able to make recommendations for those who live locally.
We do not receive referral fees for any recommendations we make, when we do make a recommendation, it is because we believe that the firm/individual being recommended will provide our clients with the best possible service. If you’re planning a move, please get in touch to see how we can help.
Remortgaging
As you approach the end of your initial fixed/introductory rate it is a good idea to start considering your options to avoid falling on to your lenders (usually) much higher standard variable rate. It’s always worth considering the rest of the market even if your existing lender has offered you what appears to be a competitive rate to stay with them.
If you’re looking to borrow more, change your mortgage term or simply want to find the lowest cost mortgage available to you then we’re here to help.
Equity Release
Equity release allows you to release money form your home without having to move/downsize. This can be to clear an existing mortgage, carry out home improvements or to provide a lump sum for you to spend as you wish.
While the short-term benefits to you are usually clear, we always take the time to explain the longer-term disadvantages to equity release and will consider all other options before making a recommendation.
Buy to Let Investment
We regularly work with all types of property investors, from the accidental or first-time landlord to those with a portfolio of properties held within a limited company structure. We’ll work closely with your accountant to make sure we’re always giving you the best advice when it comes to investing in property.
Commercial/ Development & Bridging Finance
We know what our strengths are but we also recognise when it is best to seek advice ourselves. We work closely with a number of specialist brokers and should our clients require advice on these types of financing we will look to recommend the best people to help them when it’s outside our area of expertise.
Paying For Our Services
We will always offer a free initial consultation to allow us to assess your circumstances and for you to decide if you’d like to work with us or not. At the end of the first consultation, whether it’s in person or over the phone we will be able to tell you if we need to charge a fee, how much it would be and when it would be payable.
Wherever possible we try to keep our fees to a minimum, ideally zero but it will depend how much you’re looking to borrow and how complicated the application is likely to be. Our typical fees range from £0 to £395 payable on receipt of a mortgage offer.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE
