My job is to identify the cheapest mortgage for which you are eligible and which meets you needs and requirements. I will show you all the options and work through the advantages and disadvantages of each lender/product and you will be fully involved in advice process so you can understand why a certain lender has been chosen above all others. Bramleys also offer insurance for yourselves to protect the mortgage and the property you are buying although it isn't compulsory that you take any insurance from us or the lender - it is your choice - but naturally we would be delighted to assist you. Once I have recommended a lender and product, my job is then to prepare and submit your application to the lender, handle all correspondence, keep you updated and get the mortgage offer issued to allow your solicitor to obtain the funds to complete your purchase saving you a lot of time and possibly stress! We deal with the banks so you don't have to.
