Common questions about Regulated First Charge Mortgages
What are your client's mortgage options?
There are lots! Your client's mortgage can last up to 40 years. They can choose a fixed-rate for a set period at the start of your mortgage, or they can choose a variable-rate option for the duration.
Our qualified mortgage advisers can help you identify the best option for your client, based on your circumstances and what they can afford.
How do you decide interest rates?
The rate your client is offered may be influenced by several factors, including:
- How much your client would need to borrow (both in total, and as a percentage of their property's value).
- The type of mortgage your client gets.
- Your client's credit history (but not their credit score).
What documents does your client need to apply?
When your client applies for a mortgage, they’ll need to go through our application process and provide certain documents so we can get a clear picture of their circumstances and what they can afford to borrow.
To help your client prepare any documents required we've pulled together a mortgage application checklist so you can move quickly and smoothly when the time comes.
Mortgage application checklistWhat fees will your client have to pay?
We charge a Lenders Arrangement Fee, and we charge a Redemption Administration Fee when your client 'redeems' (i.e. full repay) their mortgage, to cover costs associated with closing their account and dispensing our legal claim to their property.
These fees can vary, so we'll ensure that the fees that apply to your client's particular mortgage are clearly explained before they sign on the dotted line.
Other fees and charges may be applied to your client's account during the life of your loan, in relation to the management of their account (for instance, if they fall behind on their monthly payments). These are all explained in our Tariff of Charges.
How long does it take to arrange a mortgage?
It typically takes several weeks to arrange a mortgage.
As a responsible lender, we're duty bound to ensure your client can afford the loan they're applying for. So we may take longer to underwrite your client's case, or request more documentation.
