It pays to get advice

Buying a house involves making lots of decisions, some simpler than others. Finding the right house in your chosen location can be the easy part, finding the best and most suitable mortgage deal for your financial circumstances can prove to be more of a headache.

With so many mortgage deals available in the market how do you know which one represents the best value? The market is very competitive and if you’re not familiar with the way it works and the terminology, it can be hard to understand what is on offer.

FINDING THE BEST DEAL

We are seeing more people choosing to work with a mortgage adviser. They understand that it helps to work with someone who can explain all that is on offer to ensure they get the mortgage best suited to their needs. At this potentially stressful and expensive time it really does help to work with an expert and someone who shares your commitment to making the right choice.

Like properties, mortgages come in many shapes and sizes such as fixed, variable and tracker. You’ll also find that lenders offer mortgages with different interest rates that can be fixed for various time periods. However, looking just at the interest rate that’s being charged can be misleading. Although a low rate may look enticing, you also need to check out the fees and charges. These could be high, resulting in you paying more than if you had chosen a mortgage with a slightly higher rate of interest.

There are also special deals available that include extras such as survey fees, legal costs or cashback arrangements. We can help you work out which ones are worth going for.

SAVE MONEY AND TIME

Working with us will save you time, money and stress. We will be able to compare the deals available from various lenders, taking into consideration things like fees and charges that will affect the overall cost of your mortgage. We will ensure that your mortgage application goes to the most appropriate lender. What’s more, we are on hand from start to finish and can provide help with many other aspects of the house-buying process, like getting your offer accepted, finding solicitors and organising property surveys. We’ll also give you good advice about putting protection policies in place. These are designed to provide financial safeguards that mean your mortgage is paid if you experience one of life’s unexpected events.

So, if you’re a first-time buyer, second-stepper, re-mortgager or would-be buy-to-let landlord, looking for professional mortgage advice, why not put us to the test?

A mortgage is a loan secured against your home or property. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
