How We Handle Your Mortgage Application

We will handle your case from your enquiry to us right the way through to completion, meaning that you don't have to worry about taking time to chase lenders or solicitors.

The following is an outline of the process in which we will handle your enquiry. We aim to make our dealings with you as transparent as possible - so that you know exactly where you stand.

1. When you contact us with your initial enquiry we will discuss with you over the phone what your requirements are and your personal circumstances - this will allow us to build a picture of your situation which we can then use to get an idea of the options available to you. 

If you wish to discuss things further, we will arrange for one of our advisers to come and meet with you to gather more detailed information that will allow us to create some recommendations for you.

2. Once we have some options for you we will arrange for our advisor to come and meet you at your convenience to go through the products that will fit your needs and the service that we provide. We will provide you with all necessary documentation including 'Key Facts Illustrations' relating to the mortgage schemes available to you. 
3. Once you are happy with the details we have gone through with you and you wish to proceed, we will obtain an Agreement in Principle from the lender which indicates how much they would be willing to lend you and what documentation they would require.
4. Once approved, our advisor will visit you and go through the application form and any other necessary paperwork with you. At this stage you will be asked to provide additional supporting documentation such as proof of identification and any other financial information as required by the lender.
5. When we have all the paperwork we need from you we will submit the application to the lender to be processed.
6. We will keep in contact with the lender to ensure the application has been received and is processed as quickly as possible.
7. Once the lender has completed the initial underwriting checks, the valuation of the property should be instructed. We will liaise with you and the surveyors to ensure that the survey is done as soon as possible and ensure the report is forwarded to those required.
8. Different lenders have different procedures, but in most cases once the lender has received and approved the valuation and supporting documentation an offer will be issued. We will go through this with you and outline any key points or special conditions. 
9. At this point the processing of the mortgage through to completion passes over to the solicitors. Dependent on whether the case is a purchase or a remortgage you will receive the relevant forms from the solicitors to complete and return. The necessary legal checks will then be carried out, including, on a purchase, requesting information from the vendors solicitors. We will chase both the lender and solicitors on your behalf until the loan completes. Prior to or on completion we will put any insurances we have arranged in force, and contact you to confirm the details of your first mortgage payment. It is our priority to make sure the process runs smoothly and that you are updated throughout the application. For more information about our conveyancing service click here.
