A mortgage is a loan that is used to purchase a home. The loan is secured by the home, and the borrower makes payments on the loan over time.
The amount you can borrow for a mortgage will depend on a number of factors, including your income, your debt-to-income ratio, your credit score, your deposit amount and the value of the home you are purchasing.
A mortgage is a loan that is used to purchase a property. The loan is secured against the property, which means that if you do not upkeep your repayments, the lender can recall the loan and take repossession of the property.
To get a mortgage, you’ll need to prove to a lender that you’re a good candidate for a loan. This will involve providing documentation of your income, employment history, and assets. A mortgage broker may be best suited to help you.
A mortgage in principle is a document that states that a lender is willing to give you a mortgage up to a certain amount, based on your financial information (subject to full underwriting). It involves a credit check and expires after a period. Estate agents often ask for this when you make an offer on a property to demonstrate you are proceedable.
This depends on the lender and whether they complete a hard or soft footprint on your credit file. A mortgage broker will be able to confirm this prior to applying.
A mortgage application can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The amount of time it takes depends on the lender, your situation, and the type of mortgage being applied for.
A mortgage advisor is a professional who helps people get mortgages, or loans to buy property. They work with both the borrower and the lender to find the best possible mortgage deal, and then help the borrower through the application process.

A mortgage advisor is a professional who can assist you with securing a mortgage. They will provide you with advice on which product to choose, help you to find the most suitable mortgage lender and assist you with the application process.
A mortgage broker should be contacted as soon as you are ready to start the home-buying process or approaching the time to remortgage.
If you are thinking about speaking with a mortgage advisor, it is important to know what you need. This includes knowing what type of home you are looking to purchase, your credit score, your income and your employment history. It is also important to have an idea of what type of mortgage you are looking for, as this will help the advisor understand your needs and find the best options for you.
When speaking to a mortgage broker, you should ask questions such as:
- What is the best mortgage for my situation?
- What are the current interest rates?
- What are the fees associated with this mortgage?
- What is the term of the mortgage?
- What is the minimum deposit required?
- What is the maximum amount I can borrow?
- What is the monthly payment?
- What is the early repayment charge?
Mortgage brokers are typically paid either a flat fee or a percentage fee for each loan they originate. Some brokers may also receive a fee from the lender.
Mortgage brokers can often get you a bigger mortgage than you could get on your own, because they have access to a larger pool of lenders and are more likely to know which lender can offer the most in your situation.
Some people prefer working with mortgage brokers because they offer more personalised service and may have access to a wider range of mortgage products. Some people prefer dealing directly with their bank however you are limited to just their products and criteria.

Mortgage brokers are not all the same. The mortgage brokers we work with have different specialties such as buy-to-let investments, self-employed customers, and bad credit mortgages.
A mortgage broker can save you money by shopping around for the best mortgage rate, but you may have to pay the broker’s fees.
A buy to let mortgage is a mortgage that is specifically for people who are looking to purchase a property in order to rent it out. These mortgages typically have higher interest rates and require a larger deposit than a regular mortgage.
It is important to seek independent advice when applying for a mortgage, as this can often lead to getting a much better value deal. This could save you a significant amount of money over the course of the mortgage.
