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.

Raj has been fantastic throughtout our journey so far on securing our new build and looking at the best mortgages for us. Any problems he has bedn there to help out nothing was ever too much trouble. We didnt feel forced or pressured into anything. And was able to recommend thibgs to us should we need it. We are glad we got recommended MAB as i wouldnt know where to start it was that long ago on buying a house. I will continue to use MAB along the way for future remortgaging

Graham who was our mortgage advisor was very informative when it came to securing our mortgage offer. He explained the most cost effective approach. He submitted our application and ensured we had all the right things in place to try to ensure the most success from our application. We were then passed on to Kate who was our case manager and was great in giving us updates and was there for us if we required any more information. We were very happy with the service we received from the MAB.

Easy, professional service from the start and for those who maybe need some help or guidance regarding the process, you are in good hands. Clare Jarvis has a wealth of knowledge and experience in her field and you feel like she is working 100% to get the best offer for you. With her added warmth and professionalism you can relax. I am so pleased Clare was recommended to me and I would recommend her to anyone.

Rachel has been great, first time a couple of months ago with a property we didn't proceed with and secondly with a property we've just sorted! Every time we spoke with her she was professional, friendly and patient. Guiding us through the process and making us feel confident she got us the best deal. Can't recommend enough

Frances was great. She has helped me through each step of the process and explained everything clearly. I would definitely go back to Frances in the future to save a lot of stress and confusion trying to sort my mortgage out on my own.
