Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make — and getting the right advice from the very beginning can make a huge difference. At CastleBrae, we want to make sure every buyer we work with has access to the very best financial guidance available, so that when you find the right home, you're ready to move quickly and confidently.
While our team at CastleBrae are property experts rather than financial advisers, we work closely with a trusted network of fully qualified, independent mortgage advisers who can help you with everything from understanding what you can borrow, to securing the best mortgage deal available to you. We'll introduce you to the right people — and from there, any advice you receive is completely independent and entirely unbiased. Our advisers have no preference for any particular lender or product. Their only goal, like ours, is to find the best solution for you. At CastleBrae, we'll never push you towards any particular adviser or product. Our sole aim is to make sure you have access to the right people, so you can make the most informed decision possible.
Getting your finances in order before you start viewing is one of the smartest things you can do as a buyer. A qualified adviser can help you with:
How much can I borrow?
Before you fall in love with a property, it's worth knowing exactly what your budget looks like. A mortgage adviser will assess your income, outgoings and financial circumstances to give you a clear, realistic picture of what lenders are likely to offer you.
Mortgage agreements in principle
An agreement in principle is a written indication from a lender of how much they'd be willing to lend you. Having one in place before you make an offer shows sellers that you're a serious, prepared buyer, and in a competitive market it can make a difference.
Finding the right mortgage product
With hundreds of mortgage products available across dozens of lenders, knowing which one is right for your circumstances isn't straightforward. An independent adviser has access to the whole of the market which means they can compare every option and recommend the right deal for you.
First-time buyer schemes and support
If you're buying for the first time, there may be government schemes or lender incentives available to help you get onto the property ladder. Your adviser will talk you through anything that might be relevant to your situation.
