What does a mortgage broker do?

A mortgage broker’s role is to arrange a suitable mortgage for you. This will involve taking details about your personal and financial situation and using that information to find mortgage lenders where you meet the relevant criteria and affordability requirements for the property that you want to buy. The broker will be able to answer any questions you have and advise you on suitable mortgage products. They will assist you with the necessary paperwork so that a mortgage application can be submitted and will then do everything possible to help progress your application.
