If you are looking for free Independent Mortgage Advice from a mortgage broker with many years of experience, then you have come to the right place. The Directors of 1st Call 4 Mortgages (UK) Ltd would like to extend a warm welcome to you and thank you for looking at our company website. Both Directors have been advising clients for over 25+ years. We are very proud of our client testimonials, which speak for themselves.
1st Call 4 Mortgages (UK) Ltd is a ‘whole of market’ adviser for mortgages and protection, which means we can provide a tailored solution for all of our clients. You are probably looking at this site because you need advice now or are researching your options for the future. Regardless of whether you use us, our recommendation is that you always seek the services of an Independent Mortgage Adviser. The reason we recommend this is because most advisers in the High Street Banks and Building Societies can only inform you about their own products, and it is therefore pot luck if you get a deal that is most suitable for you. Many Estate Agents have advisers these days but usually work from a limited panel of lenders and protection providers, and again it is pot luck if you get the best deal for you. Not using an Independent Mortgage Adviser could cost you many thousands over the life of your mortgage in higher mortgage related costs.
The Directors of 1st Call 4 Mortgages (UK) Ltd wanted to provide ‘Independent Mortgage Advice’ as this allowed us to give our clients the best possible solution available every time from the whole of the UK market. 1st Call 4 Mortgages (UK) Ltd is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (which replaced the Financial Services Authority on 1st April 2013).
Being regulated as an Independent Mortgage Adviser means we are required to follow a set procedure for every person that contacts us. Not many people realise that before we can make a recommendation, we need to ask you questions regarding your income and expenditure as well as details about any other commitments, savings or investments that you may have. Depending on your individual knowledge of the mortgage market, we may need to spend time explaining all the different types of mortgage or protection products available before we can pinpoint what is most suited to you. We will research the whole mortgage market for you and discuss the results with you. This will allow you the opportunity to compare examples of the types of mortgage you are interested in, and we will highlight the differences in rates and other costs. Once we have selected a mortgage that suits you, we then need to get your express permission to apply to that lender for an agreement in principle. The lender may conduct a credit search at this point to see if you fit their lending criteria.
If you are accepted, we need to prepare a full application, compile the required documentary evidence to prove your identity, residency and income and then submit this to the lender. We will liaise with you, the lender, your Solicitor and Estate Agent where appropriate. Depending on the complexity of your application, we may at this point charge an application processing fee as each mortgage submission can take many hours to conclude and I am sure you would not work for free. Our typical processing fee is currently £495 for straight-forward cases, which is considerably lower than most lender’s arrangement fees, even though we do most of the work for them! We will advise you if a fee will apply, and before a full mortgage application is made.
