While it’s easy to find a competitive mortgage online, the challenge lies in finding a lender whose criteria and mortgage features match your circumstances. Additionally, it’s important to note that deals with the lowest rates often come with high arrangement fees.
Affordability is also a crucial factor to consider, as a lender’s deal may not be worthwhile if they won’t lend you enough. Given the significance of purchasing a house, many individuals opt for the mortgage broker route.
It’s important to see the bigger picture with your mortgage, people can often struggle with this. Using a mortgage broker service, like ours, and paying a small fee can often save you thousands of pounds over the duration of the mortgage as you’ll most likely end up with a better deal.
Mortgage applications today can be complicated due to various factors such as poor credit history, self-employed income, mixed deposit sources, let-to-buy situations, contract workers, zero-hours contracts, and affordability.
In the past, lenders differentiated themselves by offering better deals, but now, they stand out with their lending criteria. Some lenders are more lenient with self-employed applicants or those with past credit issues.

We also offer additional services such as helping you with property offers and recommending professional services like solicitors and different types of surveys and protection.
