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.

The only reason I went with MAB rather than Trinity (who I was speaking to first) was because the handler, Louis, at MAB is ace. He was factual and professional and got the job done, listening to exactly what I was looking for. He also seemed like a lovely person. (The Trinity guy was a pushy bully trying to fear-monger a deal out of me).

I’ve been using Andrew Rowe and his team at MAB for many years, and the service has been consistently excellent. They are knowledgeable, professional, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything is handled smoothly. Communication is clear and timely, and they take the stress out of what can often be a complicated process. Their fast turnaround really sets them apart, and it’s great to have a team you can trust year after year. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and highly recommend them.”

The help and advice me and my husband received has been very good . We are very inexperienced with this and have lots of questions, probably quite trivial or stupid but ollie always answers and never makes us feel like they are stupid .

Really proactive, kept me fully informed of the process and possible way to minimise impact of fees. I am confident that I have the best deal available without having to do any of the hours of comparison. My advisor has been brilliant with managing the process and keeping me informed.
