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.

I recommend using the Mortgage Advice Bureau for anyone who needs to renew their mortgage. My advisor Jack was quick to find the best new mortgage deal for me and my case worker Andy kept me updated throughout the remortgage process, all the way through to completion. Both responded to queries promptly.

Sue Lennighan was excellent. She explained everything clearly and provided practical, helpful options - including some we hadn’t considered but that were well suited to our circumstances, needs and aims. Sue was patient, professional and always pleasant, making the whole experience a great one. Thank you for the excellent service!

This is my second time using Mortgage Advice Bureau, and once again, Andy and Julie have been absolutely incredible. They’ve gone above and beyond to make everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. Buying or remortgaging can feel overwhelming, but with them, it never does, they’re always just a call or message away, ready to help with anything, no matter how big or small. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care shine through in everything they do. I’ve never felt like “just another client”, they treat you like family and make sure you’re comfortable and informed at every step. I honestly couldn’t have done it without them, and I’m so grateful for all the support and reassurance they’ve given me along the way. Andy and Julie are simply the best and i will use them again and again!!! x
