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.

Specialist-lender knowledge is often the difference between an approval and a decline on non-standard applications.

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. Ask any prospective firm how many lenders it can place with and whether it has handled cases like yours recently.

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?
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?
Some brokers charge you nothing directly and are remunerated by the lender; others charge a disclosed client fee. Confirm the total cost of the service in writing before proceeding.
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?
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?
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.
