Whether you’re new to the world of mortgages or you currently own a property and have some past mortgage experience, you will have either heard of a “mortgage broker” or will have no clue what they are or what they do.
Using a mortgage broker in Manchester when moving home can not only make your job easier but can take all of the stress out of the process.
Here we will discuss the main differences between using a mortgage broker and your bank.
If you opt for your bank when looking for a mortgage, you will not have to pay a broker fee, which will save you money.
However, banks can only access their in-house mortgage products, whereas, a mortgage broker can search through various different types of lenders in order to find the best product for you. For example, as a mortgage broker in Manchester, we have access to a variety of different lenders that hold both high street and specialist deals. We can search through these lenders to try and find you a competitive mortgage product.
During your free mortgage appointment with us, we will perform a free affordability assessment on you to work out what sort of deals will be accessible to you.
Most high street banks are renowned for making you wait weeks to get an appointment with a mortgage advisor. This can be extremely inconvenient if you have just had an offer accepted on a property.
A mortgage broker in Manchester, like ourselves, offers flexible availability and allows you to book a mortgage appointment at a time that suits you. Sometimes, we even have same-day availability!
If you approach a high street bank and your mortgage application is declined, the chances are that most other high street banks will do the same.
There are many different reasons why a bank could decline your mortgage application, sometimes you are never told why. If it has something to do with your credit, if you apply to another bank and are declined, you could put more harm on your credit.
As mentioned earlier, mortgage brokers can access a large variety of mortgage lenders, including those from specialist lenders. If you have been declined by your bank, the best thing to do is to approach a mortgage broker in Manchester like us and we can explore options that are better suited to your personal and financial situation.
If your credit is the issue and you need help improving your credit score and getting your finances back on track, our mortgage advisors in Manchester can run through this with you.
Banks and brokers have a pretty similar turnaround time when it comes to getting you an agreement in principle (AIP). Our mortgage advisors in Manchester can usually secure you an AIP within 24 hours of your free mortgage appointment.
If your AIP expires, simply get back in touch with our team and we can renew it straight away for you.
Similar to their mortgage appointment availability, banks will never be available there and then for you to ask a quick question or give you an update on the progress of your mortgage application. Drop your mortgage advisor in Manchester a message whenever you want to speak to them and they will be back in touch right away. We know that the mortgage process is a stressful time, and we want to put you at ease.
As a mortgage broker in Manchester, our job is to help you through the entirety of your mortgage journey. No matter your situation, whether you’re a first time buyer in Manchester or a buy to let landlord in Manchester, we are here to offer our help.
Our responsive service is at the heart of our business. You can book your free mortgage appointment or arrange a call back online! This allows you to be in control of your mortgage appointment and schedule it around your busy working and personal schedule.
If you would prefer to, give our team at Manchestermoneyman a call and we can put you in touch with one of our expert mortgage advisors in Manchester.
