How our mortgage brokers can help you secure a mortgage
Understand mortgage products
We explain the different mortgage options available to you. Our Lonsdale mortgage brokers are trained to understand the various mortgage products, so we can compare variable rate and fixed rate mortgage options and their costs. We also discuss mortgage protection cover. Various protection products are available including income protection, life insurance cover and critical illness cover.
Which mortgage product?
Choosing the best mortgage product for your situation is important as it will affect how much you repay in future. With interest rates rising and mortgage rates constantly changing it can be helpful to discuss your options with a mortgage broker. You could consider a variable tracker mortgage (where the rate changes in line with the Bank of England base rate) or a fixed rate mortgage. If you choose a fixed rate mortgage your monthly payment remains the same throughout the mortgage term. Fixed rate mortgage products are usually available for two, three or five years.
Consider your financial situation
Before offering mortgage advice our mortgage advisors will assess your financial situation, your savings, current and future income, and expenditure so you know how much you will be able to borrow. We can also review your credit rating so you know which lenders will be prepared to offer you a mortgage.
Review the mortgage market
Our mortgage brokers understand what is happening in the mortgage market and have access to a wide range of mortgage products. Once you decide what type of mortgage you require, we can source options for you.

Amy Kadir, Lonsdale mortgage broker, St Albans, Hertfordshire said:
‘Given the cost-of-living crisis and the volatile mortgage market all first-time buyers are finding it hard to get onto the mortgage ladder. Mortgage lenders are asking for large deposits and first-time buyers are concerned about the cost of servicing their mortgage. For these reasons it’s helpful to get mortgage advice so you feel confident you are choosing the right mortgage for your circumstances. We always recommend that customers call us before they start house-hunting so they know how much they can borrow and how much deposit will be required. Remember too that you will have other costs when you purchase your first home, including mortgage arrangement and valuation fees, stamp duty, building insurance, solicitor fees, survey costs, removal and moving costs.
