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.

James Keenan was always approachable and helpful, doing much of the legwork for us in comparing conveyancers, surveyors etc.

I had an outstanding experience with Mortgage Advice Bureau as a first-time buyer in Leeds. From the very beginning, Vicky and Dominic provided exceptional support, guiding me step by step through the mortgage process. They explained everything clearly, set out what to expect next, and gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed during such an important decision. What really stood out was their professionalism and efficiency — the whole process was handled quickly and smoothly, with excellent communication throughout. It never felt overwhelming because I knew exactly where I stood at each stage. Thanks to their guidance, securing my mortgage was far less stressful than I imagined it would be. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Mortgage Advice Bureau, especially Vicky and Dominic, to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive mortgage advice.

We have dealt with Tim Rogers with initial contact going back to an enquiry made for myself with a potential to purchase alone. When this eventually morphed into a fresh enquiry I'd a couple, Tim was there, file still available despite the timescales and has been extremely helpful, quick to respond and inciteful where we leant on him for financial advice around our objectives. Highly recommend friendly service 👌

Very good service and competitive pricing point with more lenders in the panel making it easier for buyers to get the best deals in the market possible. Emma Cousins is my advisor and has always been proactive, responsive and helpful to the maximum extent.
