What Mortgage Brokers Do

Mortgage intermediaries advise on and arrange home loans, working from either a whole-of-market view or a defined lender panel. How much of the market a firm can search is a regulated disclosure, made before any recommendation.

Away from vanilla purchases, lender appetite varies widely, and matching case to lender is the skill being bought.

How to Choose the Right Mortgage Broker

Matching the firm to the case matters: portfolio landlords, contractors and expats are better served by brokers who work those niches daily. A short scoping call establishes lender access, typical turnaround and whether the firm has an appetite for your case.

Expect a written disclosure of how the firm is remunerated before any recommendation is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a mortgage broker or can I go directly to a lender?

Direct applications are always possible but confine you to one lender's range. An intermediary compares products across many lenders at once, which tends to matter most where circumstances are non-standard: self-employment, credit history issues or unusual property.

How much does a mortgage broker charge?

Many firms are paid entirely by the lender through a procuration fee, so no client charge applies; others add a client fee, particularly for complex work. Whatever the model, it must be disclosed clearly before you commit.

What documents do I need to provide to a mortgage broker?

Expect to provide identity and address proof, recent bank statements, payslips or accounts if self-employed, details of existing credit commitments, and information on the property. The firm will confirm the exact list for your lender.

How long does the mortgage process take when using a broker?

Mainstream lenders typically issue an offer within two to six weeks of submission; specialist cases run longer. Active case management, chasing the lender and resolving queries promptly, is where a firm shortens the timeline.

Can a mortgage broker help if I have been declined by a lender?

Yes, and this is where criteria knowledge earns its fee: lenders differ sharply on credit history, income types and property construction, and a decline at one lender often converts to an approval at another with the right placement.
