How it works

How our advice process works

What to expect from your first conversation with us through to completion.

  1. 1

    An initial conversation

    We start by getting to know your circumstances, your plans and what matters most to you. There's no obligation at this stage and we'll tell you honestly whether we think we can help.

  2. 2

    Understanding your budget

    We look at your income, outgoings and deposit to build a realistic picture of what you could afford to borrow. This gives you confidence before you start viewing properties or considering a remortgage.

  3. 3

    Searching the market

    We compare options across a wide range of lenders on your behalf, rather than being tied to a small panel. We explain the differences between the options in plain English.

  4. 4

    Submitting your application

    Once you've chosen a route, we prepare and submit your application, gathering the documents the lender needs and checking everything before it's sent.

  5. 5

    Managing the process to completion

    We keep you updated at each stage and liaise with your solicitor and estate agent where needed, so you're never left wondering what's happening.

  6. 6

    Staying in touch afterwards

    We remain available for questions after completion and get in touch again well before your current deal is due to end, so you can plan your next move in good time.

Reviews

What our customers say

★★★★★

As first time buyers we had no idea where to start. They explained everything patiently and never made us feel rushed, even when we had the same question twice.

They got in touch a few months before our fixed rate ended, which meant we avoided being moved onto a much higher rate without noticing. Wish we'd used them for our first mortgage too.

Buying our first rental property felt like a big step, but they talked us through the whole process and were honest about what we needed to think about beyond just the mortgage.
