Is it worth paying a mortgage broker?

Yes. A mortgage broker saves time, reduces stress, and often finds deals you won’t see directly. At MBNM, our whole-of-market access means we compare 90+ lenders to secure the right mortgage for you.

Do I need a mortgage broker or a bank?

Banks can only offer their own products, while brokers compare the whole market. That means more choice and, in many cases, more competitive rates.

When should I start looking at remortgage options?

It’s best to review your options 3–6 months before your deal ends. This gives time to secure a new rate and avoid moving onto a higher standard variable rate.

How much does a mortgage broker cost?

Mortgage broker fees vary. Some charge the customer directly, while others are paid by the lender. At MBNM, we provide free initial advice, and if a fee applies, we’ll always agree it with you upfront so there are no surprises.

What credit score do I need for a mortgage?

There isn’t one set score. Many lenders look for “good” or “excellent” credit, but specialist options exist if your score is lower. We’ll help match you with lenders based on your profile.

Do you cover my area?

Yes. We work with clients across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and beyond, combining local expertise with online tools so you can get advice wherever you’re based.
