Questions and answers
How much does mortgage advice cost?
The initial conversation is free. Mortgage advice costs between £149 and £750, depending on the circumstances, with the fee discussed and agreed at the earliest opportunity.
Can I get a mortgage if I am self-employed?
Yes. Lenders assess self-employed income in different ways. Most want two years of accounts, although some options are available with one year.
How long does a mortgage application take?
Usually, a mortgage offer arrives within two to four weeks of applying. Complex cases can take longer, while having the paperwork ready can help speed up the process.
Can mortgage advisers help with insurance options?
Yes. Advisers can discuss insurance to help maintain mortgage payments if income is lost, explain the implications of not having cover and consider the protection required.
