Whether you’re a first-time buyer, or moving up the property ladder, working with an independent mortgage advisor could make the process of buying your new Ashberry home even smoother.
Also called a mortgage broker or financial advisor, an independent mortgage advisor is qualified to provide you with expert financial advice, and recommend the mortgage products that would suit your circumstances best.
Independent mortgage advisors are highly trained and qualified experts in mortgages and many other financial products. Working separately from any bank, mortgage company or lender, they’re able to offer impartial advice on mortgages and can search across the whole market to find the most suitable and affordable products currently available to you.
All independent mortgage advisors must be regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which then gives you the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). That’s reassuring when making such an important decision as taking out a mortgage, especially if you’re buying a home for the first time.
It’s totally up to you whether you appoint a mortgage advisor when buying your Ashberry home, but New Homes Mortgage Helpline (NHMH) – one of the UK’s leading new-home mortgage specialists – are our first choice for expert advice.
Mortgage advisors search the entire market for you to find the most suitable mortgage options currently available, based on your circumstances and financial history. They’re qualified to provide you with financial advice and make recommendations on products, plus they’re often able to access mortgage deals that you may not be able to find on your own.
They have the most up-to-date knowledge on schemes that can assist you with buying a new-build home, such as Deposit Unlock and the Government-backed Help to Buy – Wales, and new mortgage products on the market like Track Record, the no-deposit mortgage for renters who want to buy their first property. Mortgage advisors will break down the cost of your mortgage so that you understand what you’ll be spending, and crucially, help you to navigate changes in interest rates and ensure that you’re getting the best deal out there at any given time.
Your advisor will also support you through the whole mortgage application process, starting with understanding how much you could afford to borrow, identifying which lenders are most likely to accept you, and obtaining your decision in principle (DIP), to helping with the paperwork for your formal application and making sure you’re in the best position to be accepted.
Who can benefit from using a mortgage advisor?
Anyone who is in the process of buying a home can benefit from the expertise and unbiased advice of a qualified independent mortgage advisor. They can access a wider choice of deals for you, identify the lenders that are most likely to offer you a mortgage, and help you with the application process which can be tricky to navigate, even if you’ve been through it before.
Having the support of a mortgage advisor can be of particular appeal to first-time buyers, as well as people whose financial circumstances are more complex, such as if you’re self-employed, or have a poor credit history.
What questions will a mortgage advisor ask me?
Your mortgage advisor needs to find out as much as they can about you, so that they can look for the most suitable and affordable mortgage products currently available. From your initial consultation, and throughout the process, they’ll ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle, financial position, and mortgage requirements.
Here are the types of questions that your mortgage advisor will ask, so you can prepare yourself with the information they need.
