How can we help

Whole of market, independent, fee free mortgages

When looking for a mortgage solution, it’s important that you have the confidence you’ve made the right decision in getting the best possible rate and product for your needs. With access to independent advice our brokers can explore the whole of the marketplace on your behalf to enable you to secure the best possible deal without the need to spend potentially £100s on unnecessary broker related fees. 

Absolutely no broker fees

Getting the right advice for your mortgage can at times prove stressful enough without the added financial burden of having to pay for it. Fee-free brokers offer mortgage advice without charging clients directly as, like all brokers, are paid a commission from lenders when your mortgage completes. This arrangement enables you to access professional advice and recommendation without any cost commitment with your mortgage adviser. At Chesterton Grant Mortgages, you can be assured that our entire mortgage advice service will cost you nothing.

Re-mortgage – a win-win opportunity 

Remortgaging can be used to obtain a better deal, or simply a way of releasing some of the equity held in your property. You can potentially secure an offer up to 6 months before your current mortgage deal comes to an end, although nearer the time of completion (up to1 month before) should market conditions have changed in your favour, we will again advise you of your best options.

Access to whole of market for competitive deals

With the ability to access the whole of market, your mortgage advisor can find the most suitable mortgage deal that meets with your current needs and circumstances from the hundreds of possible options available in the marketplace. You can be confident that from the wide choice on offer in the marketplace, your mortgage deal is the most suitable and cost-effective solution for your unique situation.

Fully independent mortgage advice

When a mortgage advisor has no affiliations to any specific lenders, prioritising your interests can be put first. You advisor can find you the best mortgage options to meet your current needs & circumstances. When a Mortgage Advisor is tied to a specific pool of lenders, it can restrict which mortgage products they offer you as they have a limited market to choose from.

  • What are the benefits of using a broker who can access whole of market when getting a mortgage

    Using a broker with access to the whole market offers numerous advantages when securing a mortgage. Brokers can provide impartial advice, ensuring you find the most suitable deal tailored to your unique financial circumstances. With access to a wide range of lenders and products they can offer more options than traditional banks, potentially leading to better terms and lower rates. Additionally, brokers can navigate complex mortgage processes, saving you time and hassle while guiding you through every step of the journey to homeownership. Ultimately, working with a broker who has access to the whole marketplace can increase your chances of finding the most suitable  mortgage solution to meet your needs and circumstances.

  • What does being ‘independent’ actually mean?

    Being an independent mortgage broker means not being tied to any specific lender or financial institution. Instead, independent brokers have the freedom to search the whole of the market for potential mortgage products, ensuring that clients receive impartial advice and access to a wide range of options. This independence allows brokers to prioritise the client's best interests, offering tailored solutions that meet their unique needs and financial goals. By remaining unbiased and transparent, independent brokers provide clients with peace of mind, knowing they are receiving unbiased guidance to secure the most suitable mortgage deal available.

  • How is it possible to get fee-free mortgage advice?

    Fee-free mortgage advice is possible when working with brokers who only earn commission from lenders rather than those that earn a combination of both commission from the lenders and who charge clients directly. These brokers, often termed as "fee-free" or "commission-based," offer their expertise without additional advice costs being levied on to the borrower. 

    By leveraging their relationships with lenders, they can secure competitive deals while ensuring clients receive unbiased guidance and advice tailored to their needs. This approach allows borrowers to access professional mortgage advice without worrying about additional advice fees adding to the overall cost.
