How Much Deposit Do I Need?
Typically, you will need between 5% and 25% of the property’s value, depending on the mortgage type and your circumstances.
The amount you can borrow depends on your income, financial commitments, credit history, and the lender’s criteria. As a general guide, lenders may offer between 4 and 4.5 times your annual income, but this can vary depending on your circumstances.
Can I Get A Mortgage With A Low Credit Score?
Yes, we work with a wide range of lenders, including those who support applicants with different credit histories.
How Long Does The Mortgage Process Take?
The mortgage process typically takes between 2 to 6 weeks from application to offer, depending on the lender, property type, and how quickly documents are provided.
What Documents Do I Need?
You will usually need proof of income, bank statements, identification, and details of your financial commitments. We will guide you through exactly what is required based on your situation.
Can I Get A Mortgage As A First-Time Buyer?
Yes, we support first-time buyers and guide you through the entire process, including deposit requirements, affordability checks, and available schemes.
Can I Remortgage My Property?

Can You Help With Buy-to-Let Mortgages?

What Is A Decision In Principle (DIP)?
A Decision in Principle is an initial indication from a lender showing how much they may be willing to lend you. It helps you understand your budget before making an offer on a property.
Do I Need Insurance With My Mortgage?
While not always mandatory, lenders typically require buildings insurance. We also recommend considering protection options such as life insurance or income protection to help protect your mortgage and financial commitments.
We usually charge a fee between £199 and £799 for mortgage services. The exact amount will depend on your individual circumstances and will be confirmed before you proceed.
Will Checking My Mortgage Affect My Credit Score?
Initial checks such as a Decision in Principle may involve a soft credit check, which does not impact your credit score. A full mortgage application may involve a hard credit check.
