FAQs – York Mortgage Advice

A few of the most common questions we’re asked by clients looking for mortgage advice in York.

1. Do I need a mortgage broker in York? +
A broker gives you access to more lenders, helps you find better rates, speeds up approvals and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Many of the best deals are not available directly from banks.
2. What are the current mortgage rates in the UK? +
Rates change daily. Fixed rates currently vary depending on term, LTV and lender. The best way to get an accurate picture is to request a personalised, real-time comparison based on your circumstances.
3. Can you help if I'm self-employed or a contractor? +
Yes — we specialise in complex income: CIS, umbrella, limited company directors, day-rate contractors and irregular income. We’ll position your case with lenders who understand your income profile.
4. How much deposit do I need to buy a home in York? +
Most lenders accept 5–10%. Some require more depending on your credit history, income and the type of property you’re buying. We’ll explain your options before you commit to an offer.
5. Do you offer independent mortgage advice? +
Yes — we are fully independent and whole-of-market, meaning we work for you, not the lender. Our recommendation is based on what’s most suitable for your needs and objectives.

Yes — missed payments, defaults, CCJs and arrangements can often still be accepted with specialist lenders. We’ll review your credit file and outline realistic options.

Typically:
• Decision in Principle: same day
• Full Application: 24–48 hours
