Malcolm and his mortgage experts
The best thing about our job as a Mortgage Broker in Manchester is helping our clients navigate through the often stressful experience of buying a home or remortgaging. It can be a complicated process and our clients love having someone on their side from start to finish to ensure they get the right advice.
We do pride ourselves on providing a highly responsive service, communication is everything in this job. We work from a large panel of well-known high street banks and building Societies to ensure our clients get the best deal available to them but we also work with smaller, more specialist Lenders too for when we come across clients who don’t “tick all the boxes”.

What our customers say
Common mortgage questions
Your free mortgage consultation in Manchester will last round about one hour. We will then recommend a mortgage for you with no obligation for you to proceed and you can decide whether or not you wish to proceed with the mortgage.
As your mortgage broker in Manchester, we carry out a Fact Find to establish your personal needs before we recommend the most suitable mortgage for you. A credit check is then required for an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, a formal mortgage offer can be issued.
To avoid possible disappointment, we recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle before you begin viewing properties in Manchester. At the very latest you should obtain one prior to making an offer to assist your bargaining position.
An Agreement in Principle typically lasts for between 30 and 90 days depending on the Lender used. If your Agreement in Principle expires it can always be refreshed.
It may be possible to get a second mortgage on your home for things like debt consolidation or Home Improvements. It may also be possible to take out a mortgage on a second property if you’re wanting to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let.
The minimum deposit when purchasing a house in Manchester with High Street Lenders is typically 5%. This can be higher if you have had previous credit problems.
If you have had credit problems you can still get a mortgage but you may possibly be required to put down a higher deposit than usual, perhaps 15% of the property purchase price.
Once you have submitted at least one year’s accounts, you are able to get a mortgage. Most Lenders use your salary plus dividend to calculate the maximum mortgage, whereas others are known to go off your net profit.
It’s usually three payslips for an employee to prove income and the latest 2 years’ accounts for self-employed. You will also need to produce proof of ID, address and 3 months’ bank statements.
Our free consultation typically lasts up to an hour or so. We can turn round an agreement in principle within 24 hours. A formal mortgage offer takes about three weeks on average.
