Our Process - Your Mortgage Journey

Intro Call

(Optional)

A quick chat to understand your current situation, your plans, and whether Let to Buy is a viable option. If you’re new to us, it’s also a chance to see if we’re the right advisers for you.

Strategy

Call

We dig into the detail: your onward purchase goals, current mortgage terms, expected rental income, and borrowing needs. We'll map out the best way to structure the two mortgages.

Research & Recommendation

We compare your current lender’s Let to Buy options with deals across the whole market. You’ll get a tailored recommendation for both mortgages, including affordability, costs, and long-term value.

Application Submission

Once you're ready, we gather the paperwork, package the applications, and submit to both lenders. We’ll explain how each application interacts and keep things coordinated.

Lender & Legal Processing

We work closely with both mortgage lenders and your solicitor to make sure the process moves smoothly. You’ll receive regular updates and support throughout.

Completion

& Beyond

Both mortgages complete — but our job doesn’t end there. We’ll keep an eye on future expiry dates and stay in touch to ensure you're always on the best deal for both properties.

Our Process - What to Expect from Your Calls

What's the difference between an Intro Call and a Strategy Call?

The Intro Call is a short, informal chat designed for those who want to explore their options before diving into the full mortgage process. It’s a great way to ask initial questions, understand how we can help, and decide on the best next steps.

The Strategy Call is a more in-depth conversation where we take a closer look at your mortgage goals, financial situation, and eligibility. This call helps us outline potential options tailored to you, including indicative affordability and monthly payments.

If you're unsure which to choose, start with the Intro Call, and we can always book a Strategy Call when you're ready for more detail!

How will my call take place?

The format of your call depends on the type of appointment you’ve booked:

Intro Calls will take place either over the phone or via Microsoft Teams.

Strategy Calls are typically held via Microsoft Teams, but if you’d prefer to meet in person at our Broadstairs office, just reply to your confirmation email to let your adviser know.

What will the Strategy Call involve?

The Strategy Call is an in-depth consultation designed for those who are ready to explore specific figures and tailored recommendations. Prior to the call, you’ll complete a fact-find form providing key details, allowing your adviser to conduct initial research and prepare insights relevant to your situation.

During the call, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals, review detailed calculations, and receive strategic guidance based on your circumstances. We will also cover relevant insurance products that go hand in hand with your mortgage goals. This session is ideal if you’re looking for a comprehensive discussion and well-informed next steps.  

If you’re still exploring options and would prefer a brief introductory chat, our Intro Call may be a better starting point.

Is there a fee for the calls?

No, there’s absolutely no cost for any of the mortgage calls. We believe in offering support and guidance upfront, so you can ask all the questions you need—completely obligation-free.

I’m not sure which call type to choose—what should I do?

That’s okay! If you’re unsure, just pick the one that feels closest to your situation. During the call, we’ll make sure we’re focusing on the goals that matter most to you. And if you need further guidance, feel free to reach out before booking.

How long will the call take?

The Intro Call is a quick, informal chat usually lasting around 15 minutes. It's designed to answer your initial questions, discuss your goals and help you decide on the best next steps.

The Strategy Call is a more detailed conversation and typically last around 45-60 minutes, although we block out 90 minutes to ensure we have plenty of time to explore your situation in depth, assess your mortgage options, answer all of your questions and outline the best way forward.

What happens after the call?

After the call, we’ll email you with a summary of what we discussed, along with any next steps. There’s no obligation to proceed, but if you’re ready, we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish.

I can’t make my scheduled appointment—can I reschedule?

Of course! Life happens. You’ll find a reschedule button in your confirmation email, so you can choose a new time that works better for you.

Will I need to provide any documents during the call?

While it’s not essential, providing documents like proof of income, your credit report, and recent bank statements before the call can be really helpful. It gives your adviser a chance to review your information and identify any potential hurdles ahead of time, so you can get the most out of your Strategy Call.

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.

IMPORTANT: With investments, your capital is at risk. Pensions and investments can go down in value as well as up, so you could get back less than you invest.
