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.

Adam was extremely helpful from the start of my remortgaging process to the finish. He explained things in terms I would understand, he was polite and cared about getting a deal that was right for me and my future. I will continue to use the mortage advice bureau and would recommend their services to anyone! And thank you to Emma who worked alongside Adam. She was very responsive to emails, lovely to talk to and very professional.

We had a really brilliant experience with Paris Scrivens. She was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. She always got back to us really quickly and was super proactive. We were originally with Habito but were recommended her and within a half hour call already understood our situation so much more. Very grateful and will use going forward.
