How we act for you:

We offer mortgages from the whole of the market, but excluding deals only available direct from lender to customer.

We are limited in the range of mortgages we will consider for you and cannot offer advice on second charge loans, consumer buy to let, nor equity release. We do however offer further advances from existing lenders, first charge loans and buy to let mortgages for investment properties.

We will advise and make a recommendation for you on a first charge mortgage or further advance after we have assessed your needs.

Checking your identity:

We are required to verify our clients for anti-money laundering regulations. For this purpose we will use electronic identity verification systems similar to those used for credit checks. We also require up-to-date proof of identity and address. For an up to date list of acceptable documents please click here.

Fees and charges:

Our normal fee is £250 payable on application and £250 once you receive your offer. We may also receive a procuration fee from the lender. For complex cases we reserve the right to charge a higher fee, however, this will usually not exceed 1% of the loan amount. For example, on a loan of £150,000 you would be charged a fee of £1,500. If we plan to do so we will notify you in advance.
You will receive a ESIS (European Standardardised Information Sheet) when considering a particular mortgage and will tell you about any and all fees relating to it.
