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.

MAB have been great throughout the whole process, from my initial call with Jack to get my DIP arranged the morning I was completely my reservation to Rob and Charlie during the mortgage application process, everyone has been very helpful and friendly and have taken the time to make sure I understand the process and the advice given to me. They've made the entire process much smoother and I would highly recommend.

I have just finished a mortgage application with the MAB, but in particular Pip Singh. He was nothing short of amazing. Our circumstances were extremely complicated and Pip managed to place us with the right lender for our circumstances. He has been a huge help, and has held our hand every step of the way - very calm and collected and always finding a solution. Thanks Pip and the MAB for an excellent service.

Adam was great! He helped us find a mortgage, that came through really quickly. He advised us on things such as slightly higher interest rate but saved on product costs etc so worked out cheaper overall. All questions were answered. Thank you

The morgage advice bureau were amazing. I was in a tricky situation with regards to remortgaging my home. I had exhausted all other avenues and was ready to admit defeat and sell up. Special thanks has to go to Karen Shuttleworth for picking me up, dusting me off and reassuring me she would get the result I needed. Karen had me an offer within two weeks, despite some difficulties. She really did go the extra mile. Also special thanks to Joanne mcgregor, for overseeing the whole process and keeping me updated. I was also pointed in the right direction with the legal side of things by The mortgage advice bureau. It was all handled very quickly as we were on a deadline. I would 100% recommend their services to everyone.

Hannah has been brilliant through out the whole process so far even though the lender has been a little difficult she's worked hard to get the deal done. She's very pleasant and patient to talk to and has guided us through the process of a first time buy.

Excellent, I had previously had issues with a different mortgage lender but it was all resolved with no stress and it was all hassle free. Straight forward and easy to understand conversations and really helpful advice.
