What mortgage brokers do

A mortgage broker assesses your circumstances, recommends a suitable mortgage deal and helps you through the application from agreement in principle to completion. Brokers in the Aylesbury area typically handle residential purchases, remortgages, buy-to-let and product transfers, and many also cover new build and shared ownership purchases. Most advise on related protection such as life cover, income protection and critical illness cover. Some are whole-of-market, meaning they can search across most lenders, while others work from a limited panel. It is worth asking which applies before you begin, alongside your estate agent and conveyancer.

Who brokers can help

Beyond a straightforward house purchase, local brokers regularly place cases that high street lenders find harder to assess. That includes self-employed applicants, company directors and contractors with day-rate or limited-company income, buyers using shared ownership or Help to Buy, landlords building a buy-to-let portfolio, and applicants with adverse credit on file. A broker who searches a broad panel can match each buyer to a lender whose criteria fit the income type and property, which can save effort and avoid a declined application.

Qualifications and regulation

Mortgage advice in the UK is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Brokers and the firms they work for should appear on the FCA register, and advisers usually hold a recognised mortgage qualification such as CeMAP. You can check a firm's authorisation on the FCA register before committing. If you also want wider money planning, such as pensions or investments, a financial adviser may be more appropriate, as mortgage permissions and investment permissions are separate.

How fees usually work

Brokers are paid in different ways. Some charge no client fee and are paid a commission by the lender, while others charge a flat fee or a percentage of the loan, often alongside lender commission. As a guide, fixed broker fees commonly range from a few hundred pounds upward, but this varies by case complexity. Ask for the fee, when it is payable and whether any part is refundable before you proceed. A clear written illustration should set this out.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a mortgage broker in Aylesbury?

Check that the firm is on the FCA register, ask whether they search the whole market or a limited panel, and confirm how they are paid. Whether they handle your situation, such as self-employed income, a new build or shared ownership, plus response times and the option of in-person or video appointments, can also help you decide.

How much does a mortgage broker cost?

It varies. Some brokers charge no client fee and are paid by the lender, while others charge a flat fee or a percentage of the loan. As a guide, fixed fees often start from a few hundred pounds. Always ask for the fee in writing before you begin.

What is an agreement in principle?

An agreement in principle is an indication from a lender of how much it may lend, based on a soft check of your circumstances. A broker can arrange one to show estate agents and sellers you are a serious buyer before you make an offer. It is not a full mortgage offer, which follows a complete application and valuation.

Can a broker help if I am self-employed or have adverse credit?

Often, yes. Brokers who search a broad panel can match self-employed, contractor and limited-company income, as well as cases with adverse credit, to lenders whose criteria fit. They can also place new build, shared ownership and buy-to-let cases that some high street lenders handle less readily.

Are mortgage brokers regulated?

Yes. Firms and advisers giving mortgage advice must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority and should appear on the FCA register. Advisers typically hold a qualification such as CeMAP.
