How a Mortgage Broker in Bristol could help you buy a home

If you’re exploring your options to buy a home in the Bristol area, Mortgage Marketplace is a great place to start. As locals, we know the area inside out and have helped lots of people find a mortgage in the city.

Whether you’re starting out with a First Time Buyer mortgage, looking to remortgage, downsize or Buy to Let, we can help at every step.

What do Mortgage Brokers do?

We’re here to help you with both the financial side of buying a home and the practical side.
As financial advisers we focus on mortgages, but our clients end up seeking our advice on all sorts of things!

But the main purpose of what we do is to confirm how much you could borrow and make sure you’re happy with how mortgages work and what everything will cost. We compare hundreds of mortgage products to recommend the most suitable deals for you.

We’re independent, experienced and have lots of helpful contacts in Bristol.

What are the benefits of using a Mortgage Broker?

More people are using Mortgage Brokers to help them find a good deal than ever before. While you might think it’s easier to go to a high street bank, bear in mind they can only promote their own products.

We look at mainstream lenders and specialists for the most relevant criteria, fees, charges and rates. We’ll make sure you’re aware of the extras too, from stamp duty to valuation fees.

A big benefit of talking to an independent mortgage broker is that we will make sure you fit the criteria before applying – it’s very unusual for our clients to be turned down. We also take time to make sure that the repayments on your mortgage won’t overstretch you – your home may be repossessed if you fall behind.

What services do Mortgage Brokers offer?

We’re here to support you at every step. We’ll start by looking at how much you could borrow and check whether your credit rating needs any improvement. Once you’ve set your property budget we’ll get you an Agreement in Principle from a lender, which gives you better credibility when making an offer.

After your offer is accepted you’re bona fide home buyers – and we’ll support you to complete your mortgage application and get that loan.

If you want to explore different mortgage types we’ll give you the lowdown on between fixed rate, variable rate, interest only or capped products. We support people with Buy to Let mortgages and remortgages too.

If you’re looking for mortgage protection insurance, we can also help you look at options like life insurance, critical illness cover, home insurance and income protection cover.

Our Bristol mortgage clients always say that they get far more support than they expected. You will get to know your mortgage adviser well, and they will help chase up anything outstanding to keep your house purchase in progress right up until you’re moving home.

We also know Bristol and the surrounding area and can connect you with other experts you might need along the way.
