Fee Free Mortgage Broker, Whole of Market Advice Across the UK

Q: Will I pay more in interest with a fee free broker?

No. The mortgage rates we access are the same as, or sometimes better than, rates available directly. Many lenders offer exclusive broker only deals with lower interest rates than their direct to consumer products.

Whether you’re a first time buyer, remortgaging, or considering a buy-to-let mortgage, our whole of market mortgage brokers can help. Since 2019, we’ve offered free mortgage advice across the UK, helping thousands secure home loans with no broker fees.

Fully regulated by the FCA, we search the whole UK mortgage market, not just one lender, to find the right mortgage deal for you.

Most fee-charging mortgage brokers charge between £300 and £1,500 for their advice. Some fee charging brokers add this on top of lender fees, meaning borrowers pay twice before they've even moved in.

We work differently. As a fee-free broker, we receive commission, called a procuration fee, directly from the mortgage lender once your mortgage completes. This is a standard arrangement across the industry.

The key difference is that fee charging mortgage brokers keep that commission and charge you on top.

We don't. The procuration fee we receive is broadly similar across lenders, which means we have no financial incentive to push you toward any particular mortgage deal.

Unlike multi-tied brokers who can only recommend products from certain lenders, or direct-only lenders who can only offer their own products, we search the whole of market and recommend whatever is genuinely best for your circumstances.

Our service covers the whole of the UK residential mortgage market. We can work entirely online, by phone, or via video call, whatever suits your schedule and preferences. From Southampton to Newcastle, all the way back to London.

Choose the right loan for you

We work with all types of borrowers, not just those with straightforward applications.

‍Self-employed and contractors - Getting a mortgage when you're self-employed or work on a contract basis can feel complicated. Many lenders assess self-employed income differently, and certain lenders have more flexible criteria than others. Our mortgage advisers know which lenders are most likely to approve your application based on your individual circumstances, saving you from unnecessary credit searches and declined applications.

‍Freelancers and complex income - If your income includes multiple sources. PAYE, dividends, rental income, or irregular bonuses, we'll help you present your finances in the best light. Different lenders assess complex income in different ways, and our knowledge of the market means we match you to the right one.

‍Existing mortgage review - If you have an existing mortgage and want to know whether you're on the best deal, we can review your current rate and compare it against the full market, with no fee and no obligation.Whatever your personal circumstances or financial situation, we'll give you honest, expert advice tailored to you.

Credit history concerns (Although we might refer you to our sister company) - A less-than-perfect credit history doesn't automatically rule out a mortgage. We'll assess your situation honestly and let you know which lenders are likely to consider your application, what deposit may be required, and whether it's worth applying now or in a few months' time. We'll never waste your time with applications that are unlikely to succeed.

Remortgaging

People remortgage for many reasons: when a fixed rate ends, to lower monthly payments, consolidate debt, or fund home improvements. Our brokers help you compare competitive remortgage deals to suit your needs.

We can search up to six months before your rate expires, helping you avoid a higher standard variable rate and secure a better mortgage deal.

Why use a mortgage broker instead of going direct?

Most people start with their own bank. It is the obvious first move and usually the wrong one, because your bank can only offer its own products. You end up comparing one lender against nothing at all.

A whole of market mortgage broker compares a wide range of lenders and tells you honestly where the best mortgage sits. We do it without charging you a fee, because the lender pays us once your mortgage completes.

You see more than one lender. High street banks assess income, credit history and affordability in very different ways, so one lender saying no tells you little. Our panel of lenders covers thousands of mortgage products and we compare deals across all of them.

You reach broker only deals. Many lenders keep exclusive deals for intermediaries that never appear on their own website. Those exclusive deals often carry a lower rate than the direct equivalent, so a mortgage broker can cost you less than going direct.

You save time. Going it alone means a separate application process with every lender, and each declined application marks your credit file. We handle the mortgage application and all the mortgage paperwork from start to finish, and chase the underwriters, so the entire process takes less of your week.

You get expert advice, not a sales script. Our commission is broadly the same whichever lender we use, so nothing pulls us one way. We recommend the most suitable deal for you, based on the type of mortgage, the mortgage term and the monthly mortgage repayments that actually fit your life.

You are never charged a fee. Most brokers charge a fee of between £300 and £1,500 for this exact work, sometimes on top of the lender's own fees. We do not.

How do you find the best mortgage broker? If you are weighing up which firm to use, a few things matter more than the rest, and they are all easy to check before you commit.

Whole of market access. Some mortgage brokers are tied to a small panel of lenders, or to a single lender. Ask how many lenders they can place a case with, then double check the answer.

FCA authorisation. Any firm giving mortgage advice in the UK must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. Ours is 1011890 and you can verify it on the FCA register in seconds.

A straight answer on fees. A good broker tells you exactly what they charge before you hand over a single document. If you cannot get a clear answer, walk away.

Named, qualified advisers. You should know who is handling your case. Every mortgage advisor here holds the qualifications required to advise on regulated mortgage contracts.

Do we need to meet in person? No. We work as a free online mortgage broker as well as a local one, so everything from the first call to the mortgage offer can happen by phone, email or video, with the same mortgage advice you would get face to face.

An online mortgage broker is not a lesser service. You still get a named mortgage advisor, a direct number, and someone who chases the lender when it goes quiet.

When should you start? If you are buying, talk to a mortgage broker before you start house hunting, so you know what you can borrow and can view a new home with an agreement in principle in hand.

If your deal ends within six months, start now. We can usually secure a rate and hold it while you wait, and there is no cost to finding out.

We will tell you if you are already on the best mortgage. If your existing lender beats anything we can find, we will say so, even though we earn nothing from that conversation.

Ready to find out what the whole market will lend you? The best mortgage broker for you is one who compares everything and charges you nothing. Talk to one of ours and we will help you find the right deal, with no fee and no obligation.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Common questions about using a fee free broker

We strive to make our loan process simple and accessible to everyone.

How fast can I get an agreement in principle?

An Agreement in Principle (AIP), also called a Decision in Principle (DIP), is a statement from a lender indicating how much they’d likely lend you.

Estate agents often ask for one before accepting an offer on a property. We can usually arrange an AIP the same day, or within 1 to 2 working days of receiving your key documents. Sometimes faster for straightforward cases.

An AIP does not guarantee a final mortgage offer, it’s based on the information provided and a soft credit check. The full application involves more detailed checks. But it’s a strong indication and shows sellers you’re serious. We do not charge any fee to arrange an AIP. You’re free to change property or lender later if needed.

Are fee free brokers really independent?

We search the whole of market and recommend the best and most suitable mortgage based on your circumstances, not on which lender pays us the most. Our commission rates are similar across lenders, removing any incentive to push you toward a particular product.

Traditional brokers often charge between £300 and £1,000+ for their services. Some charge a percentage of your loan amount. A fee free broker works differently, we’re paid only by the lender on completion, meaning you keep more money in your pocket for moving costs, furniture, or simply peace of mind.

Will I pay more in interest with a fee free broker?

No. The mortgage rates we access are the same as or sometimes better than, rates available directly. Many lenders offer exclusive broker-only deals with lower interest rates than their direct-to-consumer products.

Do you provide advice on life insurance & income protection?

We can discuss income protection and life insurance policies at anytime. We also offer a range of other relevant protection products as part of our service. These help protect your mortgage repayments and life if your circumstances change.

Is this service available across the whole UK?

Yes. We work with clients across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Everything can be done remotely by phone or video call, so you can use an online mortgage broker wherever you live. Have a question not covered here? Contact us with no obligation and no fee. We’re happy to provide advice and point you in the right direction, even if you decide not to use our service.

How quickly can I get a mortgage offer?

Timescales vary, but straightforward cases often receive a mortgage offer within 1 to 3 weeks of the mortgage application being submitted. We’ll give you a realistic estimate based on the lender and your circumstances.

What if my case is complicated?

We handle complex cases regularly, including self-employed income, tier 2 visas and unusual properties. Our advice remains fee free regardless. The only time you will be referred across to our parent company is if you have adverse credit, as those applications are far more complex.
