What Mortgage Brokers Do

Mortgage brokers arrange lending between borrowers and banks or building societies, matching an application to lenders likely to accept it. Whole-of-market firms compare products across the full lending landscape, while panel-based firms work from a defined set of lenders.

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

Specialist knowledge of niche lenders is what separates firms when an application falls outside standard criteria. Before instructing, ask for the firm's scope of lender access and recent experience with your case type.

The fee structure varies by firm but must always be disclosed in writing at the start of the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Going direct works for straightforward cases with a lender you already fit. The case for a broker is breadth: many lenders' criteria compared simultaneously, and knowledge of which specialist lenders accept cases the high street declines.

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?

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?

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placement is a recognised specialism: the task is matching your circumstances to a lender whose published and unpublished criteria accept them.
