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. This is where we can help do 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.

Josh was my main contact at MAB and he has been incredibly helpful. Josh communicated clearly all the information throughout the process. My questions were answered quickly and all information was passed on straight away. Joanne the case mananger was equally as good with communicating and passing on information. I have had no issues with MAB, even with the mortgage application being sent over Christmas. I would highly recommend MAB based on my experience with Josh Hayseldon and Joanne McGregor.

It’s been a long long time since I’ve had to arrange a new mortgage, I wasn’t even sure how the process progressed these days, Rachael had my back all the way, dealing with confusing paperwork solicitors, banks etc, making the whole situation a lot calmer than if I’d had to muddle through it on my own, Lucy kept me up to date with emails, they are the perfect team going the extra mile to ensure a stress free process, so if you’re worrying about applying for a mortgage, contact this dream team & rest assured you’ll be in good hands, don’t just take my word for it, read the reviews, I can’t thank them enough Five Star⭐ all the way.

Thorough advice on many areas, and everyone we spoke to used simple enough language for us to understand! We felt supported at every step. Whenever we had a question to clarify something, we weren't made to feel stupid

We had superb support throughout all of our situation in navigating mortgages. Their knowledge of the market got us the mortgage that we needed to buy or house. Highly recommend their service.

I recently used The Mortgage Bureau and was very pleased with the service provided. Alex Gill handled the initial stages of my application and was both helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Even with the Christmas period falling in the middle of the process, he worked quickly to keep things moving and ensured I was regularly updated on the progress of the application. After the initial application was made, Elaine also became involved. She maintained that same level of communication, keeping me informed and making herself available whenever I had a query. It was a smooth experience from start to finish, and I’d certainly recommend Alex, Elaine, and the rest of the team for their professional and reliable approach.
