Moving home?
Need a mortgage?
Buying a new home often requires a mortgage and this is one of the biggest financial commitments you will make in your life. Professional advice that considers your personal circumstances is vital to getting you the right product for your future home.
We take pleasure in working with every individual client looking to take out a new mortgage, we listen to their individual needs and any worries they may have. Our process will help you understand exactly what you can afford and go forward with on a monthly payment basis.
The first thing you need to consider when you are looking to move is how much your property is worth. This will help you know how much you need to borrow to afford your new home. We recommend speaking to an estate agent to gain a valuation and begin the sales process. If you have an existing mortgage you will need to know how much is still outstanding on your current mortgage.
Existing mortgage
We will need to discuss your current mortgage, what you owe and how much you need to borrow to obtain your new home i.e. the difference that is needed to add to any equity you may have. From your existing mortgage paperwork we will be able to see what debt is outstanding, how much interest you are currently being charged, when your current mortgage deal ends, early repayment charges that are owed and if the mortgage is portable (can be transferred to another property).
Our advice
Next we will sit down with you and discuss what you can borrow, work through an income and expenditure analysis to produce a monthly repayment schedule and help build a budget for your mortgage.
Mortgage sourcing
We will now work on your behalf to access a comprehensive range of products from across the market to find the right mortgage for you.
Decision in Principle (DIP)
Once we know what you can afford to borrow we will apply for a decision in principle from the lender. This document simply outlines what a lender is likely to lend you before you buy a property. You will be in a strong position to now offer on the property you want to purchase.
