Why Use a Mortgage Broker?

Why Use a Mortgage Broker?

When there are so many offers and deals on the market or you can go direct to your bank, it might seem odd to use a third party to arrange your mortgage, so I wouldn’t blame you for thinking why should I use a Mortgage Broker!

First things first, what is a Mortgage Broker? They’re someone who specialises in understanding the mortgage market, using their expertise to advise their clients. It’s their job to not only know what is going on with mortgages but also to work with their clients’ circumstances so they can find the best possible deal for them.

But to answer the original question, there are a wide range of reasons why having a Mortgage Broker on your side makes the whole process of buying a home so much less stressful:

The Range of Products

A Mortgage Broker opens the door to a variety of mortgage options. They have access to many lenders, including some who only work with brokers, offering a broader range of rates, terms, and loan types.

A Personal Touch

Mortgage Brokers work with you to find the best options to suit you. They take the time to understand your needs and goals, providing expert advice on the most suitable mortgage products for you.

Saving You Time

Navigating the mortgage market can be time-consuming and complex. A good broker does the heavy lifting for you. They compare rates, terms, and conditions from various lenders, and bring the best deals directly to you, simplifying your decision-making process.

Also applying for a mortgage involves a lot of paperwork! Working with a broker takes all the heavy lifting out of the process for you, ensuring your application is completed accurately.

Insider Knowledge

Brokers often have long established relationships with lenders and knowledge of the market. This alongside their negotiation skills can secure more competitive rates and favourable terms, leading to significant savings over the life of your mortgage.

Guiding You Through

Not only do Mortgage Brokers help make a complex process easier to navigate but if you have a unique financial situation, such as self-employment or a less-than-perfect credit history, they can find you suitable lenders and advise you on the best steps to take maximise your borrowing.

“The Beginning of A Beautiful Friendship”

A good Broker doesn’t just disappear after your mortgage is in place. They will be available to answer questions and provide advice, to ensure you feel confident and informed throughout the term of your mortgage and during future remortgages.
