We offer a comprehensive range of mortgages from across the market with respect to first and second charge regulated mortgage contracts for both business and non-business purposes, as well as unregulated BTL and CBTL mortgage contracts, but not deals that you can only obtain by going direct to a lender.

In circumstances where you are looking to increase existing borrowing, the following options, on which we may not be able to advise, may be more appropriate:

The Cost of our Services

Mortgages

We will charge you a fee of £0.00 upon receipt of a mortgage offer for our services.

We may also receive commission from the lender or insurer of any products you take out.

You will receive a personalised illustration (ESIS) when considering a particular mortgage, which will tell you about any fees relating to it, and the commission we will be paid. You have the right to ask for information on the variation in levels of commission payable by mortgage lenders. You also have the right to request an illustration for any mortgage we offer.

Insurance

We arrange the policy with the insurer on your behalf. You do not pay us a fee for doing this. We receive commission from the insurer which is a percentage of the total annual premium.

You will receive a quotation that will tell you about any other fees relating to a particular insurance contract.

 

Refund of fees

Where a fee has become due, and you subsquently cancel or withdraw at any time prior to completion, in order to cover our administration costs, the fee will still be due, and if already paid you will not receive a refund.
