Mortgage Broker: Guiding You Through The
Mortgage Jungle
By SeanH-9584
Nowadays, applying for a mortgage
is a fairly everyday experience.
A decade or so ago it was different. Many people regarded
it with fear and trembling. You made an appointment with
your Building Society manager, dressed in your smart
clothes, and sat across from him (it was usually a �him�,
and pretty intimidating he could be) on the other side of
a huge desk. Then you meekly answered all his questions,
hoping he would consider you reasonably respectable and
would deign to grant you a mortgage.
These days there are hundreds of lenders all competing for
your business. Most of them offer not one product but
several, so altogether there are literally thousands of
mortgage products to choose from. Now you are the one
who is doing the deciding. How are you supposed to know
which one is right for you?
Really, there is only one person who can act as your guide
through the mortgage jungle � an independent
mortgage broker.
Of course you can always go and ask advice from your bank
manager. But remember that banks these days want to sell
you their own products. The bank isn�t going to look at
the whole market, and you can�t be sure that they are
advising you solely in your own interest. They are
actually bound by the terms of their employment to push
certain products at you.
Alternatively you can go online and surf through all the
different lenders. If you do this, you will probably pick
the one that offers the lowest interest rates. But you may
be in for a nasty shock when the mortgage is
actually arranged and you find the rate you are actually
getting is a lot higher. The lenders advertise a �typical
interest rate� to pull you in, but there is no guarantee
that that is the rate you are going to get.
It�s all very bewildering, but a mortgage broker
can help you. It�s not only a question of finding the
product that looks most attractive. Everybody�s individual
circumstances are different. Age, financial situation,
credit history, availability of deposit, type of property
you are looking for, whether you are a first time buyer,
what level of monthly repayments you can manage � all
these factors mean that, virtually, no two applicants are
the same. A mortgage broker won�t push a product at
you for the sake of it. A broker will look your specific
situation and take it from there.
Somewhere out there, there is a mortgage that is
just right for you. It will be much easier for you to find
it with a mortgage broker�s help.
