General answers to help you prepare. Your actual options depend on your circumstances and current lender criteria.
It varies by lender, property and circumstances. A larger deposit can sometimes open more options, but the right starting point is a realistic review of your income, commitments and plans.
Lenders assess income, regular commitments, credit history, dependants, term and other factors. Online multiples can be misleading, so treat them as rough guides rather than promises.
Some initial checks use a soft search and others may use a hard search. We explain what type of check is expected before an application or agreement in principle is submitted.
Common requests include identification, proof of address, bank statements, payslips or accounts, deposit evidence and details of existing commitments. Exact requirements vary.
Timescales vary with the lender, property, valuation, legal work and complexity of the case. We set realistic expectations and keep you updated as the application progresses.
Potentially. Self-employment, variable income, credit issues or non-standard properties may need a more detailed conversation. We will be honest about what may and may not be realistic.
The exact fee structure and when fees become payable will be explained before you agree to proceed. The approved fee disclosure will be published here before public launch.
The final lender-panel and product-range disclosure must match the authorised firm or network arrangement. We will publish the approved wording before launch and explain the scope clearly during the initial conversation.
