How does a mortgage work?
If you want to buy a property, but don’t have enough money to pay for it upfront, you can apply to get a mortgage.
A mortgage is a loan taken out to buy property or land. It can last between 2-40 years, depending on your lender and circumstances.
You’ll need at least 5% of the property purchase price as a deposit. You then borrow the rest of the money (the mortgage) from a lender, such as a bank or building society.
The lender charges interest on the money you borrow. You then make monthly payments to clear the total. The loan is ‘secured’ against the value of your home until it’s paid off.
If you can’t keep up your repayments, the lender can repossess (take back) your home and sell it so they get their money back.
What mortgage can I afford?
The most you can borrow is usually capped at four-and-a-half times your annual income.

Was struggling to keep up
I was struggling to keep up with payments to my credit card and loan providers, it was literally leaving me with pennies after paying the monthly payments. After talking to this company it made my life so much easier and even left me with a lot of extra money each month.

From stress to relief
Before the call I was so stressed, literally had nowhere to turn & wasn’t sure if my situation could be resolved as I felt I was just stuck in a rut with financial issues. Claire was fantastic, assured me she would do what she could to help, throughout the whole call she kept reassuring me & made me feel so much at ease. By the end of the call I felt so much relief & my financial stress was over.
