You’re on the property ladder, but you want to move up it. You earn more than you did when you bought your current house, so you can afford something nicer. Simple, right? Well, not quite. You need to understand the costs of moving, as well as your likely outgoings in your new home, which, if it’s bigger, may well be significantly more than you pay out now.
We can sit down with you and work out exactly what a bigger house might cost to buy – and cost to run. We can tell you the likely costs of your new home – council tax, utilities, any increased travel expenses, as well as of course the cost of moving itself.
It may look as though the house of your dreams is within your reach, but can you really afford it, once you take all of this into consideration?
We are the last ones to want to thwart your ambitions, so we will conduct a thorough review of your circumstances, and advise you on what is possible, what would put pressure on your month-to-month finances, and what would put you into debt.
It may be that we can port your existing mortgage across to your new home, or we may need to find a different lender. Being truly independent, we can consider every mortgage product from every provider, meaning that you can get the very best deal.
Many brokers will claim to offer ‘whole of market,’ but that may just mean that they offer every kind of product, but that they are all from the same lender. Independent means that we can offer every kind of product from every lender.
Most people are bemused by the range of mortgages available, what all the terms mean, and – bottom line – what you can realistically afford, while still having a life, so to speak. We can sit down with you – from as early in the process as you like – and explain everything.
We can explain the terms; we can describe your options; we can advise you on the pros and cons of each course of action.
And when you are ready to take the big step, we will guide you through every decision, help you with every piece of paperwork, and give you the peace of mind that you are on the right track.
Sometimes it seems that there are almost as many financial advisors as there are financial products. Why should you choose us. We think there are many reasons of course, but among the most important are the following:
This last is perhaps the most important. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If we did not give our customers great service, they simply would not return.
