Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in the process:

Initial Consultation:

Your mortgage adviser will start by discussing your financial situation, including your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. They will also ask about your mortgage goals, such as the amount you want to borrow, the type of property you’re interested in, and the length of the mortgage term.

Mortgage Recommendation:

Based on your financial situation and mortgage goals, your mortgage adviser will recommend a suitable mortgage product that meets your needs. They will explain the features and benefits of the mortgage, including the interest rate, fees, and repayment terms.

Mortgage Application:

Once you’ve agreed on the mortgage product, your mortgage adviser will help you complete the mortgage application. They will gather all the necessary information and documentation, including proof of income, bank statements, and employment history.

Mortgage Submission:

Your mortgage adviser will submit the mortgage application to the lender on your behalf. They will also provide any additional documentation or information required by the lender.

Mortgage Offer:

If the lender approves the mortgage application, they will issue a mortgage offer, which sets out the terms and conditions of the mortgage. Your mortgage adviser will review the offer with you and answer any questions you may have.

Mortgage Completion:

Once you’ve accepted the mortgage offer, your mortgage adviser will arrange for the mortgage completion. This involves finalizing the details of the mortgage, such as the repayment schedule, and transferring the funds to the seller or their solicitor.
