How To Get A Mortgage

At Montgomery Financial, we understand that choosing the right mortgage can feel overwhelming — especially with so many lenders, rates, and rules to navigate. Whether you're a first time buyer, remortgaging, or buying property, we’re here to help you find a mortgage that suits your needs — and helps you avoid costly mistakes that many borrowers make.

With the mortgage interest landscape changing rapidly, staying updated on mortgage news and working with the right broker or adviser is essential. That’s where we come in.

DISCOVER YOUR BEST RATE

What Is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan secured against a property. In simple terms, it allows you to buy property without needing to pay the full amount upfront. Instead, you borrow money from a mortgage lender and agree to repay it — plus interest — over an agreed mortgage term.

You’ll make monthly mortgage payments that include both the money you’ve borrowed and interest payments based on the rate of interest set by the lender, often influenced by the Bank of England base rate.

The type of interest rate — whether a fixed rate or standard variable rate — can affect how much you pay back and what you may end up paying over time. The interest rate can go up or down, which is why choosing the right deal is crucial.

How to Get a Mortgage

Knowing how to get a mortgage starts with preparation. Lenders are tightening criteria, and many people face rejection simply because they didn't know what to expect.

Check your eligibility early and get a decision in principle before moving forward. Working with a mortgage adviser can help you understand whether a fixed rate or variable deal is best. The mortgage application process requires planning, especially when it comes to monthly repayments and any potential early repayment charge.

We’re here to help you decide what’s best and guide you through every step. If you’d like to apply for a mortgage, we offer a fast and free online mortgage review to get you started.

How to Prepare for a Mortgage

Lenders want evidence that you can repay what you borrow, and the sooner you start preparing, the better your chances of approval.

Start by saving for a deposit. A larger deposit can help secure a lower interest deal. Review your credit report and avoid taking on unnecessary debts. Have all documents ready for your mortgage application. Be sure to budget for all costs — including payments on your mortgage, insurance, solicitor fees, and the full lump sum needed to proceed.

Failing to prepare could result in lender rejection. At Montgomery Financial, we help ensure you’re ready before you even apply.

Latest Mortgage News & Rate Changes

The Bank of England continues to make rate changes, and that affects how much interest payments homeowners will need to make.

If you don’t act in time, you could find yourself on a standard variable rate, making much higher payments than necessary. Stay informed with our mortgage news updates and speak with us about whether it’s time to remortgage, lock in a fixed percentage deal, or switch to a better deal entirely.
