General

The right mortgage term for you depends on your individual circumstances. Mortgage terms can vary between 5 – 40 years, although the majority of lenders will want the mortgage to be repaid before retirement and usually by a specific age, such as 75. The shorter the mortgage term, the less interest you will pay in…

There are a number of factors that determine how much a lender will lend. These include, but not limited to, your income, credit commitments, housing costs, dependant adults or children, the size of deposit or equity available & the mortgage term.

Some mortgage brokers, like ourselves, offer advice from the whole of the market. A tied advisor will only offer advice from a select number of lenders. This may mean you do not get access to the best products or miss out on the right mortgage for you by using a tied advisor.

You can get a mortgage from a bank, building society or a specialist mortgage lender. You can apply direct to these companies or you can use a broker. A broker will advise you on the right deal for you as well as assisting in the application stage.
