Common Questions

Mortgage questions

How do I qualify for a mortgage?
Lenders typically consider your credit history, income and employment status, existing debts and commitments, deposit size, and the property you're buying. Every lender has different criteria — as a whole-of-market broker, we search over 90 lenders to find ones that match your circumstances.
How much deposit do I need?
Most lenders require a minimum 5% deposit, though some specialist products accept less. A larger deposit (10-20%) typically secures better interest rates. If you're a first-time buyer, government schemes like Shared Ownership can help you get on the ladder with a smaller deposit.
What types of mortgages do you offer?
We cover the full range: first-time buyer mortgages, remortgages, buy-to-let, commercial mortgages, self-employed mortgages, and adverse credit mortgages. As a whole-of-market broker, we have access to thousands of deals across all mortgage types.
What's the current mortgage rate?
Rates change daily based on market conditions. Visit our Today's Mortgage Rates page for live updates. Your exact rate depends on your deposit size, credit history, income, and the type of mortgage you need.
Do I need to pay for your advice?
We offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation. Our fee structure is transparent and will be clearly explained before you proceed. Many of our services are fee-free, with our commission paid by the lender.
