Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about mortgages and our services.
What does a mortgage broker do?
A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between you and mortgage lenders. We search the whole market — including deals not available directly to consumers — to find the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances. We handle the application process from start to finish, liaising with lenders, solicitors and estate agents on your behalf.
How much does mortgage advice cost?
We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation. Our adviser fee is discussed upfront and is only payable once you are happy to proceed with the full mortgage application. There are no hidden fees.
Can you help first-time buyers in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch?
Absolutely. We specialise in helping first-time buyers across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the rest of the UK. We guide you through the entire process — from understanding how much you can borrow to finding competitive first-time buyer mortgage deals suited to your needs.
What is remortgaging and should I consider it?
Remortgaging means switching your existing mortgage to a new deal — either with your current lender or a different one. You should consider it when your fixed rate is ending, you want to reduce payments, or you need to release equity. As whole-of-market brokers, we compare options across the entire lending market to find you savings.
Do I need insurance when buying a property?
Yes — buildings insurance is required by your mortgage lender from the date of exchange. We also recommend contents insurance and life insurance to protect your family and belongings. As a comprehensive mortgage and insurance firm, we can arrange cover as part of our service.
How long does the mortgage process take?
A typical mortgage application takes 6–12 weeks from application to completion, though this can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the speed of third parties such as solicitors. We work to keep the process as smooth as possible, keeping you updated at every stage.
Are you regulated by the FCA?
The supplied Lovable website states FCA registration number 932854. The footer carries the supplied Appointed Representative regulatory wording and should receive final compliance approval before launch.
Do you cover areas outside Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes. While we're based in Bournemouth and Poole, we provide mortgage and insurance advice across all of Dorset — including Christchurch — and throughout the UK. We can meet in person or work remotely via phone and video call.
