Frequently Asked Questions
- Get a soft-search decision in principle before house-hunting — it costs nothing and reveals problems early
- Whole-of-market brokers see deals comparison sites don't carry, especially for non-standard income
- Benchmark total cost over the fixed period — rate plus fees, not headline rate alone
- Loan-to-value bands (95/90/85/80/75%) drive pricing — a small extra deposit can cross a cheaper band
Beyond the Basics
New-build purchases carry extra moving parts: developer deadlines (often 28 days to exchange), incentives that lenders may deduct from the valuation, and longer mortgage-offer validity requirements. Use a broker experienced with new-build timescales.
The remortgage window is a free option too few people use. Most lenders let you secure a new rate up to 6 months before your current deal ends — if rates rise you're protected, and many lenders let you switch to a cheaper deal before it starts.
Post-2023 affordability testing is stricter than many buyers expect. Lenders now stress-test your payments at a rate above your actual deal, and your outgoings matter as much as income. Trimming commitments 3 months before applying genuinely increases what you can borrow.
