common positions and how best to circumnavigate these.

How does the
mortgage process work?

First Time Buyers

The first step we recommend is getting in touch with a mortgage advisor—ideally, a broker like BE Mortgaged. We’ll assess which lenders are suitable for your situation and accurately determine how much you can borrow. By running the numbers, We can give you a clear picture of where you stand and identify if any actions are needed on your part.

Once that’s done, we’ll have a clear understanding of what's achievable, and you'll receive an AIP/DIP/MIP (Agreement in Principle, Decision in Principle, or Mortgage in Principle). This puts you in a strong position to view homes, knowing you can confidently make an offer when you find the right one, with a clear idea of what comes next.

Home Movers

Whether this is your first home move or your second after many years, the market can change, and it's important to know the best way to get started. In this case, we recommend reaching out to a mortgage broker who can help you understand the numbers and guide you through the process. It's crucial to be aware of the associated costs and ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently, minimizing any potential issues. We’ll work closely with you to achieve the results you’re aiming for. After meeting with us, you’ll have a clear understanding of the estimated costs, helping you decide if this major decision is financially feasible, while also ensuring the buying and selling process is as seamless as possible.

Buy to Let

Whether this is your first buy-to-let investment or you're adding to an existing portfolio, We're here to help you navigate the lenders and costs, ensuring you make an informed business decision.

We'll take a close look at the numbers, weighing both the pros and cons, so you can invest your money wisely. After our appointment, you’ll feel confident in your search and be well on your way to starting or expanding your portfolio.

There is no guarantee that it will be possible to arrange continuous letting of the property, nor that rental income will be sufficient to meet the cost of the mortgage.

Remortgage

Whether you're looking to remortgage your residential property or a buy-to-let, we;re here to help. Many people choose to remortgage with their current lender, but this isn’t always the best option. We’ll help you review all available options to ensure you’re making the most beneficial decision for your situation.

In many cases, We’ve been able to save clients money by finding alternative lenders with lower interest rates, or by helping them shorten their mortgage term, bringing them closer to being mortgage-free sooner

You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.


Additional Borrowing

Sometimes in life, you need or want extra funds—whether it’s to invest in a buy-to-let property or to finance a home renovation. Whatever the reason, we're here to assist. We’ll explore the possibilities based on your personal circumstances and determine the best approach to achieve your goals.

Together, we’ll calculate how much you can borrow, what it will cost, and the most effective way to reach your desired outcome. Get in touch to learn more.
