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.

Alistair was very helpful and provided all the information required in timely manner. Was able to help find a couple of mortgage deals quickly and gave his guidance when asked. Takes all the pressure away from doing things on our own. Top notch service.

I got great advice and great help in finding the right mortgage product for our house purchase. It wasn't cheap, but the way in which we were treated, the patience and all the explanations that we were given, making everything clear every step of the way and getting the right mortgage offer. Thanks so much for your help!

I had a great experience working with my mortgage advisor, Ben Pitchell. He was fast, informative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered clearly and quickly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. His guidance and efficiency gave me confidence every step of the way. Highly recommend!

We have used Joel Dixon on a few occasions now. He is helpful, knowledgeable and really makes you feel at ease in the process. Purchasing a house can be a daunting process for anyone but Joel really makes you feel confident throughout. We will never use anyone else for our mortgage needs and recommend MAB and Joel to anyone we know who is looking for a broker service. Thanks again Joel Mr & Mrs Hall
