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.

It was really reassuring to work with the Mortgage Advice Bureau for our first property purchase. Our advisor, Helen, managed all of the paperwork on our behalf; we simply sent over relevant documents when she asked. We spoke regularly with Helen, via phone, email and text. Helen was supportive and really communicative throughout our lengthy purchase process. Her proactive, friendly approach really helped to allay our concerns and to keep pace with our timelines. Helen talked us through all of our options and regularly sought out better deals for our mortgage, as interest rates dropped. She also explained and generated quotes for life insurance and other supporting services, without ever feeling pushy or salesy. Her colleague Kate was also on-hand to help see our mortgage offer through to fruition. It was a huge weight off our minds that Helen was in regular contact with the bank and underwriters, chasing on our behalf. In fact, I have already recommended MAB services to friends!

I dealt with a number of personnel at the Mortgage Advice Bureau and found them all to be extremely efficient, helpful, friendly and proactive. When a problem arose, they always found a way to solve it quickly and effectively. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I would highly recommend this company.
