It’s important at a very early stage to do this crucially important piece of work. A professionally qualified mortgage advisor will be happy to help you work this out and find the mortgage that is best suited to your personal needs.

Arrange an appointment with your mortgage advisor.
Your advisor will normally apply for your mortgage on your behalf and they will have some detailed questions for you to answer. You will need to be able to supply various documents to validate your answers.
Your mortgage advisor will normally give you a detailed list of the things to bring along to this meeting.
Once your mortgage application has been submitted, you will need to liaise with your mortgage adviser regarding your mortgage offer and your solicitor who will keep you right on the legal side of things.
When your mortgage has been approved, your lender will send you a document called a “mortgage offer“. This details the terms and conditions applying to your proposed mortgage. You will then need to decide if you wish to accept the offer which is generally done via your solicitor.
Your adviser will review the mortgage offer with you and answer any further questions you may have on this to ensure you understand the document and all details are correct.
It is important to discuss how you will protect your home and your mortgage should something unforeseen happen. This will happen when we discuss the Offer and ensure you are fully covered no matter what scenario occurs.
Exchange contracts with the seller, which your solicitor will do for you.
