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. Access varies by firm: whole-of-market, a multi-lender panel, or ties to specific lenders, each with disclosure obligations.

Broker knowledge earns its keep on non-standard cases: self-employed income, adverse credit, unusual construction or large loans.

How to Choose the Right Mortgage Broker

A generalist suits standard purchases; self-employed income, adverse credit or unusual property calls for a specialist. A short scoping call establishes lender access, typical turnaround and whether the firm has an appetite for your case.

FCA rules require the fee model, lender-paid, client-paid or both, to be set out before advice proceeds.

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?
Charging varies: lender-paid only, a flat client fee, or a percentage on complex cases. FCA rules require the model and amount to be set out upfront, so ask for it in writing at the first conversation.
What documents do I need to provide to a mortgage broker?
The standard pack covers ID, proof of address, three to six months of bank statements, income evidence appropriate to your employment type, and your current credit commitments; specific lenders add their own requirements.
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?
A decline is frequently a criteria mismatch rather than a verdict on you. Firms that know lender appetite can identify where your circumstances fit and structure the resubmission accordingly.
