Frequently asked questions

Do I need a mortgage broker in Kettering, or can I just go direct to a bank?

A bank only offers its own products; we search across a wide panel of lenders to find a strong fit. In Kettering, the mix of period terraces, semis and new-build estates means different lenders suit different purchases — we find the right match and handle the process through to completion.

How much does mortgage advice cost?

Our advice fee typically ranges from £49 to £349, agreed with you upfront before you commit to anything. The exact amount depends on the complexity of your case. We may also receive commission from the lender when your mortgage completes, and we always explain how you are paying before you proceed. There is no charge for the initial conversation.

How much can I borrow?

As a rough guide, lenders typically offer between 4 and 4.5 times annual income, and some go higher depending on circumstances. Kettering's competitive pricing attracts many first-time buyers — we work with lenders who treat bonuses, share options and contractor income favourably. Start our online fact find for a real number.

Can you help if I'm self-employed or have complex income?

Yes — this is one of our specialisms. Many Kettering commuters and local business owners have non-standard pay: bonuses, dividends, contractor day rates or mixed income. We know which lenders treat each favourably.

How long does the mortgage process take?

For a purchase, expect roughly 8–12 weeks from offer accepted to keys, depending on the chain, survey and lender. A remortgage typically completes within 4–6 weeks.

Do I have to be in Kettering to meet with you?

No — most work is done by phone, video call and WhatsApp. Face-to-face appointments are available by arrangement.
