What Does a Mortgage Broker Do?

A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between you and potential lenders. They help you find the best mortgage deals, especially for contractors who may face challenges with fluctuating incomes. Brokers can access a wide range of products and guide you through the entire mortgage process.

How Can a Broker Help Contractors?

1. Access to Specialist Lenders
   Brokers work with lenders who specialize in contractor mortgages. They understand the unique needs of contractors and are more likely to offer flexible terms.

2. Tailored Advice
   A broker will assess your financial situation, including your income and credit history, and help you find a mortgage that suits your needs. They can also help you understand which lenders are more open to contractor income.

3. Time and Stress Savings
   Searching for a mortgage can be time-consuming and stressful. A broker handles the paperwork, communication, and negotiations with lenders, saving you time and effort.

4. Better Rates and Terms
   Since brokers have relationships with multiple lenders, they may be able to secure better rates and terms than you would find on your own.

When Should You Use a Mortgage Broker?

If you are a contractor, a mortgage broker can help you if you’re:

• New to the mortgage process

• Looking for a specialist lender

The Benefits of a Specialist Contractor Mortgage Broker
