Frequently Asked Questions

At M.A.I.N, we offer honest, straightforward advice tailored to your individual circumstances. We search across a wide panel of lenders to find the most suitable mortgage for you, not just a single bank’s products. Our experienced advisers guide you through every step of the process, handling paperwork and liaising with lenders, estate agents and solicitors — making the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Yes. Having a poor credit history doesn’t automatically mean you can’t get a mortgage. We work with lenders who specialise in helping clients with adverse credit, including missed payments, defaults, CCJs or previous financial difficulties. We’ll assess your situation honestly and recommend the most suitable options available to you.

Remortgaging is usually a straightforward process, particularly if your circumstances haven’t changed significantly. We’ll review your current mortgage, check for any early repayment charges, and search for better deals that could reduce your monthly payments or release equity. We manage the process from start to finish to make switching simple and hassle-free.

Our fees are transparent and will always be clearly explained upfront. In many cases, we are paid by the lender once your mortgage completes. If a fee is payable by you, we will confirm the exact amount before you proceed — there are no hidden costs.

On average, a mortgage application takes between 8–12 weeks from initial application to completion. However, timescales can vary depending on the lender, your circumstances, property type, and how quickly required documents are provided. We keep you updated at every stage.

Most lenders require a minimum deposit of 5–10% of the property’s purchase price. However, the more you can put down, the better the rates are likely to be. There may also be schemes available to help buyers with smaller deposits. We’ll review your finances and advise on the most realistic and affordable options for you.

Who Are Mortgage & Insurance Needs?

Since 2005, we’ve been helping clients find the right mortgage and protection solutions. Most of our new business comes from referrals, which we think says a lot about the service we provide.

Whether you’re employed, self-employed, a contractor, or a company director, we take the time to understand your situation and find a solution that works for you. From bad credit to self-employed income, we use our industry experience and strong lender relationships to secure the best deals.

With a combined 100 years of experience in mortgages and insurance, we manage the whole process for you—liaising with lenders, solicitors, insurers, and surveyors—so you can save time and stress.

We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” products. Every client gets a tailored approach. That’s why we always recommend a personal appointment, by phone or in person, to create a solution designed just for you – Making mortgages and protection simple, personal, and stress-free.

Don't just take our word for it ...

We honestly cannot thank MAIN enough for everything they have done to help us achieve something we never thought would be possible for our family: becoming homeowners! From the very beginning, George worked tirelessly to help us navigate our situation. We genuinely never dreamed that owning our own home could become a reality, but George reassured us that there were ways forward. What felt almost impossible at the start, George helped make possible. Siobhan was amazing throughout the process, making sure appointments fitted around our schedules and always keeping in touch. Even though our journey took some time due to our circumstances, she remained supportive, understanding and reassuring every step of the way. Richard also provided an outstanding service. No question was ever left unanswered, and I must have sent hundreds of emails throughout the process! Every single one was answered with patience, professionalism and genuine care. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Everyone we have communicated with at MAIN has gone above and beyond to make what can be a stressful experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We have now had our mortgage offer approved and accepted, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without this incredible team. Thank you, George, Siobhan, Richard and everyone at MAIN, for helping make our dream a reality. You haven’t just helped us secure a mortgage; you’ve helped our family take a huge step towards a future we once thought was out of reach. We will absolutely be recommending MAIN to our friends and family in the future, and we are already looking forward to seeing you all again when it’s time to remortgage OUR home! If you’re looking for a team who genuinely care, go the extra mile and fight to find a way when things seem impossible, we couldn’t recommend MAIN highly enough.

Great service from all of the team at MAIN. They have really assisted us with our first mortgage which was not completely straightforward in terms of our circumstances. Communication was amazing throughout with quick replies and consistent updates which is very appreciated in what can be a stressful situation. Questions were throughly answered and the process explained in an understandable way, being a first time buyer. I can’t recommend the team at MAIN enough - thank you! 🩵
