Mortgage Broker London Tip 1
#1 Top Tip

Do not apply for many loans or credit cards at the same time

Credit agencies view this behaviour as a red flag because it makes you look like you are desperate for money.

Your credit score may well be downgraded as a result.

First time buyer mortgage

First time buyer mortgages are those which are constructed to appeal particularly to those buying homes for the first time. Some lenders provide incentives such as cashback – a cash lump sum when you've just moved in is perhaps more likely to be attractive to a first time buyer who might have less property etc. than a home mover who has much of the fixtures and fittings to put in place in their new home already bought over the years.

Fixed term mortgages are another example of a device which can be very marketable towards first time buyers. They take these out to have the security of knowing exactly how much they'll need each month to make their repayments. They have to remember to organise a new fixed term when the initial one expires to avoid going on a lender's standard variable rate, but the incentive of saving cash through organising this, perhaps by selecting a new mortgage provider, is arguably likely to appeal as well.

Book your mortgage valuation as soon as you've had your offer accepted

If you're buying with a mortgage, you won't be able to complete unless the funds have come through to your solicitor. You have to apply for a mortgage, be accepted/get a mortgage in principle, but then, once you've had an offer accepted, your mortgage lender has to value the property, and only after this, assuming all goes to plan, do you get your mortgage offer with funds in readiness.

You can, therefore, minimise lost time by booking your mortgage valuation on the day you have an offer accepted. It may take around a week or so for the valuation survey to take place, then you have to allow for a few days to elapse before you have your offer. If you delay, the whole process slows down.

Additionally, if there are any issues like your lender undervaluing your property or making you a conditional offer, there might be further delays.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mortgage Brokers Leeds


The role of a mortgage broker is to take your information and compare multiple deals from different lenders, based on your specific details, to find you the best option.

The benefit of using a mortgage broker is having one expert doing the research and comparison for you, rather than dealing with multiple lenders who all want to sell you their own products. Our independent Leeds mortgage brokers have access to better deals than the general public and can negotiate on your behalf.
Unless you have already found a mortgage product and aren't really interested in finding a better deal, it is always worth using a mortgage broker, and when your initial consultation is free with SAM Conveyancing, what have you got to lose?
Some homeowners want the convenience of borrowing with the same lender that they currently bank with. Even then, it is often worth going through a broker anyway, as they may be able to get you an exclusive offer from that very same bank that you won't have access to.
Most mortgage brokers make their money in a flat fee or a commission, which is paid to them by the lender. Some brokers charge a fee to the borrower which is normally payable as a flat fee, or it can be financed with the mortgage.
You'll need a mortgage approval in principle in order to budget, so you should get a mortgage broker before you start looking for houses and certainly before you make an offer on one. In fact, some people speak to a mortgage broker as soon as they decide to get serious about buying a home.
There's no need to meet a mortgage broker face to face. Our hand-selected mortgage experts offer convenient remote meetings by phone, for award-winning, national coverage.
A mortgage broker will be quicker purely based on their greater experience. They will be able to check your application to make sure it's not rejected for commonplace mistakes and they can steer you away from wasting your time applying for mortgage products or to lenders who are likely to turn you down.
*SAM Conveyancing has negotiated a FREE Mortgage Consultation with our panel mortgage broker. This allows you a free mortgage consultation to discuss your specific requirements and provide mortgage opportunities for the Service being requested. If you want to proceed with a formal mortgage application through your mortgage broker, then a mortgage application fee maybe payable. If there is a fee to pay for your mortgage application, it will be explained to you at the point of discussing your mortgage options.

You can disengage the services of your Mortgage Broker before making a formal application, and no fee will be levied.
