Is mortgage advice worth it?

We think you can take the stress out of home buying by using the services of a qualified adviser.

Buying a house is one of the biggest financial commitments you can make and, for most of us, a mortgage is an essential way to get there. But the mortgage market can be complex, and the time and effort demanded by the homebuying process can be substantial.

Working with a qualified mortgage adviser can make things a lot easier. Here are five reasons to consider seeking mortgage advice.

We know the market

There’s a plethora of providers and products out there beyond the big high-street brands. But navigating the market is a mortgage adviser’s bread and butter. They’ll use their deep knowledge of different lenders and products to recommend the right mortgage for your situation, doing all the research so you don’t have to.

That can be especially valuable if your financial circumstances might limit your options, for example if you’re self-employed or have blips in your credit history. Mortgage advisers know which lenders are more comfortable taking on people in your situation, and they’ll help you adjust your finances to give you a better chance of meeting a lenders criterion.

We know what a good deal looks like

Low rate might seem like the most attractive option but other factors, like fees, loan conditions and the term, can have a substantial impact on the overall affordability of a mortgage.

An adviser will help you look beyond the headline rate and understand the total costs associated with a given product. That could save you thousands or even tens of thousands in the long run.

We do the hard work for you

An adviser does so much more than just find you a mortgage. They will help you complete your paperwork, liaise with solicitors and surveyors on your behalf and suggest other products to help boost your financial security.

You can do all this yourself if you wish, but support from a qualified adviser could alleviate a lot of the stress associated with buying a house, especially if it’s your first time.
