Our Services

We are a mortgage intermediary service and have access to a comprehensive range of mortgage products. Our service is only available to UK residents with properties registered in the UK. As part of our service we will take time to understand your requirements and explain all parts of the mortgage journey to you.

If you wish to see a full list of the lenders we use, please contact your adviser.

Our Fees

We may charge a broker fee for the service that we provide but this will depend on individual circumstances and the product recommended.

We will tell you how much the total fee will be in good time before you apply for a mortgage, but you may ask for this information earlier.

This fee is non-refundable and only payable upon completion. It can be paid from your own funds or added to the borrowing amount. If added to the borrowing amount, it will accrue interest at the same rate as your mortgage over the term.

If you choose to pay the fee from your own funds, you will be required to pay this to us within 1 business day of the completion date.

If you are completing a remortgage application, your conveyancer will transfer any surplus funds into your bank account on the day of completion, including our fee. You will be required to pay this to us within 1 business day. Please request our Tariff of Charges for more information. Additional charges may apply if you miss this deadline.

The lender recommended may also pay us a commission for the service that we provide. This will be disclosed to you before completion of your mortgage.

You will receive a key facts illustration when considering a particular mortgage which will detail any fees relating to it.

Monitoring Service

We will keep in regular contact and email you periodically to keep you updated on your mortgage deal. You will automatically benefit from this service on completion of your mortgage application. If you wish to stop this service, contact us. We may retain certain data required based on our regulatory requirements.

Intermediary Service

We will provide mortgage advice based on your personal information and circumstances; we do not provide execution-only services. Once we have established which mortgage is most suitable for you, we will make a recommendation based on your preferences and circumstances. It is your responsibility to ensure the information you provide is factual and accurate. We may need to see evidence to support your application with the lender.

We will provide you with a mortgage illustration based on our research. Please take time to read and understand this document.

It is important to note that if we recommend a buy-to-let mortgage for you, not all buy-to-let mortgages are regulated by the FCA.

Mortgages Application

There are various stages to the mortgage application process when using our intermediary service. We will keep in regular contact with you throughout the process and if we are unable to assist, we will contact you at the earliest possible opportunity to inform you.

If you are applying a mortgage in respect to a property you wish to purchase, it is your responsibility to provide all necessary information including the solicitor, estate agent and/or conveyancer.

We may also require proof of deposit to further satisfy our requirements.

Ancillary Products

We may offer you alternative services including life, critical illness, income protection, accident / sickness and unemployment insurance. We may also offer buildings and contents insurance to you if required.

Collecting Your Data

In order to advise you on the best mortgage for your circumstances, we are required to complete a fact find. We may also require documentation to support your application such as: passport, driving licence, bank statements, payslips, tax overviews or accounts.

Data Protection

We will hold the personal information provided by you securely and in confidence.

Please ensure you read our Privacy Policy so that you are aware of how we process your data. This will offer more detail on how we collect, use and retain your data.

We may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyse, and improve our services (including but not limited to Appointed Representatives of Dragon Brokers Limited, Buyer/Professional verification, data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of our services).

  2. insurers;
  3. courts, court-appointed persons/entities, receivers and liquidators;
