The House View - Mortgage Planning
'An Englishman’s home is his castle.' Or her castle for that matter.
Whatever the state of the UK housing market, or indeed the wider economy, nothing seems to dampen the average British persons desire to purchase and own property. It is a want drummed into all of us from a very early age, something nearly all of us aspire to do, whether it be a house to live in, to rent out, visit at weekends, for investment purposes, or as a bolt hole in the sun.
Whatever your reason for wanting to buy a property, irrespective of whether it be your first, last or part of a portfolio, it should not be a decision taken lightly; especially if borrowings are required in the form of a mortgage.
Our view is that whatever property related funding is being sought, sensible, qualified and empathetic independent mortgage advice should always be taken.
And, whilst important, it goes far beyond finding the best ‘mortgage deal’ for you.
Sometimes the desire to own a particular property is such that we can often be blinded as to whether it is actually a good idea. We have all heard stories over the last few years about unscrupulous lenders and brokers who have arranged mortgage lending for customers irrespective of whether of not it was in their interests, acting purely out of greed.
We believe that besides finding the ‘right deal’ for our clients we must also ensure that the client suits the deal; that no one gets ‘out of their depth’, that clients have a full understanding of both the upsides and the downsides of their arrangements, and that all decisions made are made for the right reason. It is a cornerstone of our business.
We employ a ‘whole of market’ perspective to mortgage planning, having access to nearly every UK lender. The English Mutual approach is one of guidance, support, mentoring and best execution; of seeing the job through to the end.
That’s why our mortgage clients come back to us again and again, often referring friends, colleagues and family members to our team.
