- Benchmark total cost over the fixed period — rate plus fees, not headline rate alone
- Whole-of-market brokers see deals comparison sites never list, especially for non-standard income
- Get a soft-search decision in principle before house-hunting — it costs nothing and reveals problems early
- Loan-to-value bands (95/90/85/80/75%) drive pricing — check the nearest band boundary
Read This Before You Apply
Nothing moves your rate more than loan-to-value. Lenders price in bands — 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75% — and crossing a band boundary can cut your rate by 0.3–0.6 percentage points. Ask your broker to model both sides of the nearest band: on a £200,000 loan that's thousands over a fix.
Product fees deserve as much attention as rates. A £999 arrangement fee on a lower rate beats a fee-free deal only on larger loans — roughly £130,000+ for typical gaps. Run both totals over the fixed period before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, though your options narrow. Specialist lenders accept defaults and CCJs older than 12 months, typically at higher rates. Rebuilding your score for 6–12 months first often saves thousands.
Typically 3 to 6 months depending on the lender. New-build purchases often get extended validity because completion dates slip.
