You might be thinking mortgage broker or bank, what do I choose?

There are several reasons a mortgage broker is a better option rather than applying direct with a bank.
Efficiency and choice for the buyer are just some of the key points. Continue reading to find out more advantages of using a broker.
We deal with the banks
At the beginning of your mortgage journey, an intermediary will assess your situation and will do depth research into the market.
Further down the line, you can rely on an intermediary to keep the process moving and to keep communication lines open, so you can avoid running to the post office or making calls during your lunch hour. And after your intermediary has received your mortgage approval in principle, they will liaise with the lender, the lender’s valuer and your solicitor.
We provide support
Your mortgage broker is your trusted confidant at all stages of your mortgage journey.
At the beginning, they will talk you through the whole process so you know exactly what’s ahead of you. Throughout the rest of your journey, you may have some doubts or less-than-common requests – and that’s just fine. We are here to help and answer any questions you may have.
We will get you the best mortgage rate
Mortgage123 has access to all lenders, whereas if you applied for a mortgage with one bank you are just getting one rate.
This may result in you not receiving the best rate on the market.
We will save you time
