When you start looking for a mortgage in Kent, Do you go direct to a lender, or do you go to a mortgage broker in Kent? At first sight you might think that going direct to a lender was the better option. After all, it’s usually cheaper to cut out the middleman, isn’t it?
In some areas of life it may well be. But in the case of mortgages, starting with a mortgage broker in Kent can definitely save you money and time as well.
• A mortgage broker in Kent will have details on all the special mortgage offers available, sourced from the whole market. Some of the special offers will only be available via a mortgage broker, not from the actual lender. The mortgage companies make these offers available via the mortgage broker because the broker provides them with large volumes of business.
• One important fact that is not well known. If you go first to a bank or building society and make an enquiry about one of their mortgages, that enquiry will be logged. If you then go to a mortgage broker in Kent who can get a discounted rate on that same mortgage, it can be more difficult as you have already been credit checked. So you see it’s important to go to the mortgage broker first. By all means, after you have been offered a particular morgage, do go along to that lender to check that you have the best deal. The mortgage broker won’t mind you doing that. But do start with the mortgage broker Kent.
• Some mortgage brokers in Kent develop a mortgage scheme themselves that they feel will be advantageous to their clients, and then approach leading companies to finance the product. So you may very well find that you can get a product from a mortgage broker in Kent that cannot be obtained direct from a lender.
When you are just starting out in the housing market, especially in Kent, you need all the money you can get. The last thing you want is to waste money. By starting your mortgage search with a Kent mortgage broker, you might well save money which you can use somewhere else.
