Frequently asked questions
How much deposit do I need for a mortgage?
Typically, you will need at least 5% of the property’s value for your mortgage. However, the most common amount is 10%, which can offer more mortgage options for you. The larger deposit you can put down for a mortgage, the lower monthly repayments you will have to make.
What salary do I need to qualify for a mortgage?
There is no minimum salary amount that will qualify you for a mortgage. Your mortgage provider, however, will carry out an affordability assessment that considers all of your financial matters. Generally, lenders will use your income and multiply it by between 3 and 4.5, depending on the lender, but will also take into account the credit you have elsewhere, such as loans, car finance or other mortgages, to determine your affordability
If you’re unsure whether you can afford a mortgage, our team are on hand to explain and offer guidance on how lenders assess affordability.
How long does it take to get a mortgage offer?
A formal mortgage offer can take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks after submitting your full application. However, it’s important to note that this can vary based on several factors, such as lender workload, your financial situation’s complexity, and how quickly you provide all the requested documents.
Why should I use a mortgage adviser instead of going directly to my bank?
If you speak to a bank about their mortgage offers, they are only going to highlight their own products, which might not be right for your situation. When speaking to one of our mortgage advisors, we are able to search the comprehensive range of lenders across the market, but not deals that you can only obtain by going direct to a lender. However, we can find broker exclusive mortgage deals, some of which may not get when you go directly to the lender. This gives you a better chance of finding a mortgage product that is right and more affordable for you.
