Role of Mortgage Broker

Choosing a mortgage adviser is one of the most important decisions in the mortgage process. The right choice can affect both the success of your application and the total cost over the life of your mortgage.

A mortgage broker compares hundreds of products from across the market. This means you get access to a wider choice and better deals than going directly to one lender. With such a broad range available, a good broker can find suitable options for almost any situation. Furthermore, they are more likely to uncover specialist deals that most buyers would never find on their own. The result is time saved and a mortgage suited specifically to your circumstances.

Which Lenders do we deal with?

Our panel includes all the main high street banks and building societies — Halifax, Santander, Natwest, Barclays, Nationwide, HSBC, Accord, Coventry and many more. Beyond those, we also work with a large number of smaller specialist lenders and building societies.

Complex income situations require specialist lender knowledge. For instance, income from a second job, working as a seafarer, or contracting through an umbrella company all have very specific lender requirements. Getting that match right is often the difference between an approval and a decline.

Mortgage Services Offered For

Residency

We help applicants on spouse visas, tier 2 visas and those with pre-settled or settled status. Not all lenders accept less than three years of UK address history — we know which ones do.

Property Types

Timber frames, annexes, high rise flats, flats above shops, HMOs, listed buildings, properties without NHBC certificates — we place mortgages on properties most lenders decline.

Income Types

Zero hour contracts, agency work, bonuses, commission, foreign currency income — we match your full income picture to lenders most likely to say yes.

Self Employed Clients

One year of accounts, bounce-back loans, SEISS grants, retained profits for directors — we know which lenders assess self-employed income the way that works in your favour.

Credit Problems

Defaults, CCJs, IVAs, bankruptcies, mortgage arrears — adverse credit does not mean a mortgage is impossible. Outcomes depend on deposit size, timing and income type.

Unusual Deposit Types

Deposits from abroad, gifts from non-family members, gifted equity — complex deposit sources are accepted by the right lenders. We know who they are.

Online Broker Versus Traditional

Although we started as a one-man business visiting clients at home, the way we work has evolved significantly. The mortgage process is now faster, more transparent and far easier for clients to manage.

Our mortgage recommendations are emailed to you so you can read them at your own pace. You can then come back to us with any questions or changes before committing. Our document gathering system uses a secure online portal specific to you, where all required documents can be uploaded in one place.

Throughout the process, we stay in regular contact and chase the lender directly to keep things moving. We have hundreds of 5-star reviews from our clients. We may not be the largest whole of market mortgage broker, but we work hard to maintain our reputation and look after our clients for the long term.
