Will I need a mortgage broker?

Due to the property prices it is likely that most buyers will require a mortgage to finance their new home. While it is possible to approach a lender yourself for a mortgage, we would recommend using an experienced adviser to make sure your arrangement is as good as it can be.

What types of broker are there?

There are two types of broker that can help you with your mortgage:

Whole of market mortgage brokers will have access to deals from across the market, meaning they are more likely to find a deal that meets your needs.
Mortgage advisers who work for a particular lender can only offer you products from that one lender.

What does “whole of market” mean?

The mortgage market is made up of different types of lenders, including banks, building societies and specialist lenders. There are also a number of different types of mortgage product available, from fixed rate to variable rate deals.

Respect Mortgages works with one of the largest and most respected independent mortgage brokers. They have been in business for over 45 years and have qualified advisers all over the UK, including Dorking, Woking, Guildford and Surrey.

What types of mortgage borrowers can a broker deal with?

Most mortgage brokers will be able to deal with a wide range of borrowers, from first-time buyers to those looking to remortgage their property

But brokers excel at helping borrowers whose circumstances are more complex, such as self-employed people or those with a bad credit history. This is because they have a good understanding of the different types of mortgage available and can access deals that aren’t available on the high street.

To save time: Researching the mortgage market can be time-consuming. A good broker will be able to quickly assess your circumstances and find a deal that meets your needs.
