Frequently asked questions

Why do I need mortgage advice?

Getting a mortgage is likely to be one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and it's important you make a choice that suits your circumstances. A mortgage adviser can search the market on your behalf and recommend the right deal for you.

How do I apply for a mortgage?

The process involves providing lots of information to lenders (and filling out a whole lot of forms). Being well prepared is key and can make the process move smoothly. 

Our advisers will help do most of the legwork.

How do I get a mortgage if I'm self-employed?

Being self-employed doesn't mean you can't get a mortgage. Ensuring your books are all up-to-date and keeping a clear record of your finances can help strengthen your position as a borrower. In this case, we'd recommend speaking with a mortgage adviser to find out what you need to do.

What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a term for a loan that helps you buy a home. Property is expensive, unfortunately, and few of us have hundreds of thousands of pounds lying around. This is where lenders come into play. 

What is protection?

Protection secures your family and home against the worst-case scenario. It's also important to note that your needs are likely to change throughout your life. Perhaps you're moving jobs, starting a family, or even downsizing. These are all things you need to consider when looking for protection.

How much of a deposit will I need?

The amount will usually need to be at least 5% of the value of the property you’re hoping to buy. What's more, the bigger your deposit, the smaller the mortgage you’ll need to take out to pay for the rest of the property's value.

Our borrowing calculator can give you an idea of how much you can borrow based on your deposit.

I got to know James from Mortgage Advice Bureau through a friend. I got in contact and James was on the front foot from the get-go. Timely updates with insightful communication. Top notch service by all standards. Very opened to accommodate all the questions we had and I will definitely recommend James Barfoot and MAB to anyone who's looking for advice on any mortgage process.

A really excellent service overall. Nick Gent has supported and advised me over several years, helping me navigate mortgages by supporting me with identifying what my mortgage needs are, and finding the most suitable mortgage for me. His expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the process. I have also been supported by Emma Pearson, who has been attentive and proactive in managing my mortgage application, keeping everything on track and making the process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Mortgage Advice Bureau to anyone looking for knowledgeable advice and excellent customer service.

My mortgage advisor Brad and the team have made my mortgage application and subsequent renewals very simple and easy. Above all there is a courtesy of care and understanding your individual needs and looking out for clients on a financial and professional basis. I would recommend for the trust of knowing they get in touch in ample time and have your best interests at heart.

Simon was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was polite and professional throughout, built a strong rapport with us, understood our needs and demonstrated great knowledge of the market and our options. He was accessible and very helpful at all times. Made a potentially daunting and stressful task feel easy. A breath of fresh air.

Chloe has been amazing for us once again!! We first found MAB through Google as FTB who didn’t have a clue! Chloe explained everything at every stage and 2 weeks later we had the keys to our first home! 4yrs in we’ve just got a renovation loan, and once again Chloe has been amazing and all has been approved within weeks! Chloe is an absolute asset to MAB, and we’re so lucky to have been assigned to her! 1000% recommend!
