What Mortgage Brokers Do

A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders, assessing your circumstances before recommending a product. Firms differ in market coverage, and FCA rules require that coverage to be disclosed at the outset of advice.

Complex circumstances are where intermediation matters most, because lender criteria diverge sharply off the mainstream.

How to Choose the Right Mortgage Broker

Choose by case type: mainstream residential, buy-to-let, later-life lending and adverse credit are distinct specialisms. It is reasonable to ask about lender coverage, expected timescales and the firm's record with similar applications.

Most firms are paid a procuration fee by the lender on completion; some add a client fee, which must be disclosed upfront.

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?

Identity documents, address proof, bank statements, income evidence and details of debts form the core; self-employed applicants should have two to three years of accounts or tax calculations ready.

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

From application to offer is commonly two to six weeks with mainstream lenders, longer for specialist lending. A firm that manages the lender relationship actively can compress that materially.

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

Often yes. Post-decline placement is a recognised specialism: the task is matching your circumstances to a lender whose published and unpublished criteria accept them.
