Why should I use a Mortgage Broker?

Buying a house and planning how to finance it is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. Using a mortgage broker to help with this process is highly recommended for a variety of reasons:

  1. It will save you time. Mortgage brokers have a wide knowledge of deals from a variety of lenders at their fingertips.
  2. They match you to your mortgage. They will search the market on your behalf, armed with your specific details and find the deal that suits you and your circumstances best.
  3. Your broker has indepth knowledge of lenders increasing the chances of you being accepted.
  4. If you’re on benefits, have a short employment history or don’t have a big deposit, a mortgage broker will know which lenders are likely to accept you.
  5. A mortgage advisor will thoroughly check all options available to you and isn’t tied to one lender.
  6. Your mortgage broker will act like a buffer between you and your lender. They will ‘pre-assess’ your application ensuring you meet lenders criteria and affordability.
  7. Some mortgage brokers have access to special deals from lenders, not available if you go direct.
  8. Completing paperwork is 2nd nature to a mortgage broker!
  9. Your mortgage broker is likely to charge you a small fee to arrange your mortgage, but in comparison to the hassle you’ll be saving yourself, this is a small price to pay.
  10. We’re local, we’re friendly and we understand you!
