Important Notice

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend on your individual circumstances. Your adviser will confirm the actual amount prior to any commitment, but we estimate this to be a minimum of £499 or 0.5% of the mortgage balance — for example, £500 on a £100,000 mortgage.

We usually charge a £199 administration fee when submitting your application to the lender.

Commission Disclosure

We act as a credit broker and not a lender. We have access to a wide range of lenders. Once we have assessed your requirements, we will recommend a suitable product from one or more of these lenders. However, you are under no obligation to accept our advice or recommendation.

We typically receive commission from the lender upon completion of your transaction. This is usually a fixed percentage of the loan amount. The amount of commission varies by lender and product, but it does not affect the amount you pay under your credit agreement.

Important Considerations

  • Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.

  • By consolidating debts into a mortgage, you may end up paying more over the full term than you would with your existing arrangements.

  • The actual rate available will depend on your individual circumstances. Ask for a personalised illustration.
