Frequently Asked
Mortgage questions answered
Helpful information before you begin an application or mortgage review.
Book a ConsultationHow much can I borrow?
Borrowing depends on income, outgoings, deposit, credit history, property type and each lender’s affordability rules.
How much deposit do I need?
Deposit requirements vary by lender, product and property. A larger deposit can sometimes provide access to a wider range of options.
Can you help if I am self-employed?
Yes. The documents required may depend on how long you have traded, your business structure and the lender’s assessment method.
When should I start a remortgage review?
Many clients begin reviewing options several months before their current deal ends, although timing depends on circumstances and lender offer validity.
Do you charge a broker fee?
Update this answer with your actual fee structure, when fees become payable and whether different case types have different charges.
