Do you:

  1. Want to sell your home and buy a new home?
  2. Want to buy a new home but would like to keep your curent home and rent it out?
  3. Have the required 20% deposit but would like to secure a mortgage with a lower deposit (min 10%) and hence secure a loan to value exception?
  4. Want to apply for an exception to the 3.5 times income multiple rule?
  5. Have an income that includes variable pay i.e. overtimes, bonus, RSUs which you would like the bank to take into consideration in assessment?

There are examples in recent months of customers availing of all of the above and each bank has different criteria to the above.

For example:

  1. Which bank will give me the most money i.e. which banks take account of commissions and overtime?
  2. Who will give the most to the self-employed? Which bank will add back items from your accounts, such as depreciation, to increase your salary?
  3. What mortgage rates apply? – the difference between Fixed or Variable Rates and Discount mortgage rates?
  4. What is the maximum term available?
  5. Where to get mortgage protection and who provides the cheapest cover?

Another situation we have noticed is where the existing property is in need of major refurbishment – banks will lend to refurbish.

As a mortgage broker / advisor we can advise you without prejudice on each of the different banks (operating in the broker market) mortgage offerings, and terms and conditions for trading up mortgagees.

After assessing your individual situation and advising you accordingly we will then professionally package your application so that it meets fully with the expectations of the proposed bank.

We are flexible with regard to meeting times so you don’t have to take time off work, as you would with a main street bank.

Take into consideration the possibility of extra costs and expenses like Stamp Duty, Property Taxes, Legal Fees, etc.

Banks we deal with::

We will review your current financial position, listen to what you want to achieve and recommend a suitable mortgage solution that is right for you and meets your needs.
