Why Choose Us?

Timing is Everything

We understand the importance of knowing your mortgage options before you start viewing properties. Estate agents will often ask for an agreement in principle when you make an offer, and this process can take 3-4 weeks with traditional banks. However, at EBR Mortgages, we work much faster, allowing us to accommodate your appointment and get the paperwork ready ahead of time.

Mortgages

We compare mortgage deals from over 100 lenders, providing comprehensive market coverage. This guarantees that we’ll find the best deals, specifically tailored to your situation.

The necessary documentation varies based on your personal circumstances. However, as a general guide, we will typically need:

  • Proof of income (recent payslips or tax returns)
  • Bank statements showing both income and outgoings
  • Identification (passport or driving license)
  • Proof of residency (for non-UK nationals)
  • Proof of deposit (bank statements showing your savings)

The speed of your mortgage application depends on how efficiently you can compile the necessary documentation. Assuming everything is prepared in advance, and all lender queries are promptly addressed, the process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks.

There are several fees to account for in your budget when purchasing a property, including:

  • Stamp Duty: Payable on properties over £250,000, with rates ranging from 0% to 12% depending on the property value.
  • Solicitors’ Fees: These can vary based on the solicitor you choose, the value of the property, and the complexity of the transaction.
  • Mortgage Brokers’ Fees: Professional mortgage advice usually incurs a fee, which will be clearly outlined at the start.
  • Survey and Valuation Fees: Depending on the lender and the type of survey you request, this cost may vary.
