During our mortgage process you’ll have one point of contact from start to finish.
Our underwriters consider your individual personal circumstances. That means we can take a sensible approach if you’re self-employed, a contractor, or if there’s another reason you might have difficulty getting a mortgage. The key is that we won’t lend more than you can comfortably repay.
We offer remortgage options that can cover most or all of the legal and valuation fees.
Legal assistance
We can appoint a reliable solicitor for you from our panel. They handle the legal process, and we handle their fees. In some unusual cases there are things we don’t cover – such as unusual search fees, change of name on title, transfer of equity and first registration of title.
We hand-pick the solicitors on our panel. However, if you’d prefer to use a different solicitor you’ll need to cover the fees yourself. (We don’t cover independent legal advice either.)
You can get legal assist for properties valued up to £2 million.
Free valuation
For properties valued up to £2 million, we can cover the cost of the basic valuation.
