What Mortgage Brokers Do

A mortgage broker's role is to place your application with the lender whose criteria fit your income, deposit and property. Whole-of-market firms compare products across the full lending landscape, while panel-based firms work from a defined set of lenders.

For borrowers outside standard criteria, knowing which specialist lender will say yes is the core of the service.

How to Choose the Right Mortgage Broker

Borrowers with straightforward employment and clean credit have the widest choice of firms; complex cases benefit from specialists. It is reasonable to ask about lender coverage, expected timescales and the firm's record with similar applications.

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?
You can approach any lender yourself. What a broker adds is market coverage and criteria knowledge, which shows its value on higher loan sizes, complex income or previously declined applications.
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?
Timescales depend on the lender and case complexity: a few weeks for standard residential, longer for specialist or commercial. Ask the firm for a realistic estimate for your specific case.
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placement is a recognised specialism: the task is matching your circumstances to a lender whose published and unpublished criteria accept them.
