Why use a Mortgage Broker
Mortgage brokers are specialist in their fields. Dealing with different mortgage lenders daily, knowing their criteria and keeping up to to date with criteria benefits clients.
You’re protected
An important thing to understand is that when you receive mortgage advice, your mortgage broker has a duty of care to you.
We have to recommend a suitable mortgage product and be able to justify why the particular mortgage we have chosen is right for you which includes choosing the right scheme (ie fixed, discount), mortgage term (i.e 20 or 25 years), overpayments, speed of service from mortgage lenders, cost of surveys… Every mortgage lenders has its own fee structure.
A mortgage broker is on your side
A mortgage broker will look for a suitable mortgage for you based on your needs, circumstances and preferences. There’s an awful lot to think about when choosing the right mortgage. It’s not as simple as just opting for the cheapest fixed or tracker rate mortgage you can find. You’d get unbiased advice and could choose from a range of lenders and subsequent products, rather than being restricted to the single range of the lender you went to.
Mortgage brokers knowing the industry
As Mortgage brokers we know lender turnaround times and which are the speediest. That’s why it’s so important to stay in the loop – and to have a mortgage broker on your side who understands it all. A broker deals with lenders on a day-to-day basis, so they’ll know what the application process is like for each one and can tell you which lender can process your application with minimal delays.
Mortgage lenders change their products daily with rate reductions or increases, incentives i.e cash back or free basic valuations. For this reason, mortgage brokers have the upper hand.
They also know the background criteria that a lender has and can bring this experience to bear when advising you and processing your application.
Influence- why a broker helps
Then there’s the fact that, because a mortgage broker put lots of business to lenders in a year, they can exert influence and chase things in a way you just can’t do by yourself – and that can be invaluable should things get held up. We know immediately who to contact.
It’s not just the mortgage
A mortgage broker won’t just advise you about your mortgage. They will also look at any related life insurance, payment protection and even buildings and contents insurance you have.
They will recommend insurance based on your new mortgage arrangements to make sure you are fully protected in the event of:
• Death
• Critical illness (such as cancer, heart attack or stroke)
• Redundancy
Protection plans with no investment link will have no cash in value at any time. If premiums are not maintained then cover will lapse.
The value of mortgage advice
