Why talk to a Stonehaven mortgage broker?

When arranging a home loan without specificadvice, many people are so eager and they may take shortcuts and fail to fully understand the contract they are signing.  This can result in not knowing whether they are getting value for money. Often they are let down when their home loan doesn’t give them what they wanted, or they are caught out by hidden fees.  Using a mortgage broker gives you the peace of mind that the home loan you choose will work and can provide advice and assistance to make sure you are properly protected.  Especially when considering first home grant.

What can I expect from my Stonehaven mortgage broker?

Mortgage brokers do more than just identify you a home loan.  Your home loan broker is able to help you in putting together a home loan application, chase up the lender to seek approval and organize settlement.  Any mortgage broker worth their salt will basically do all the hard work and tedious parts for you, such as comparing home loans, organizing the correct documentation and sourcing great rates.  Once you find a professional, accredited mortgage broker, you will be able to save yourself time and money on your mortgage.

How much will it cost me to use a Stonehaven mortgage broker?

The service provided by most brokers is generally free to borrowers, as the broker is paid by way of commissions and fees from the lenders. This allows people to have access to a professional mortgage broker without having to pay the broker for the services they provide. Regardless of what commission the broker is paid, you will not pay more on your home loan.  However, a professional and honest broker should always declare their commission to borrower.

Can’t I just go directly to my bank?

Going direct to a lender may appear easier, but without the proper advice and knowledge, going direct may well turn out to be an extremely expensive exercise. Because mortgage brokers deal with a range of lenders, they have access to a range of different policies. Brokers will be aware of the benefits, exclusions and costs of competing policies on the market. They will also help arrange the application and settlement.

I am pretty happy with my current bank

Mortgage brokers are experienced in all types of negotiations and as they deal with mortgages every day, they know what each lender can typically offer.  Your current lender will already have all your details and credit history, so your mortgage broker can talk to your current lender and see if any new home loan options are available that would suit you.  Sometimes changing your mortgage comes with fees and charges, and your mortgage broke will be able to talk you through these to make sure it makes financial sense to renegotiate.  Circumstances change, and from time to time people do need to change the terms on their home loan.  Mortgage brokers understand this and work on your behalf to negotiate a great new home loan for you.
