Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I chose M.A.I.N to arrange my mortgage?
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.
I have a bad credit history - can you still help?
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.
How easy is it to remortgage my current property?
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.
What fee do you charge to arrange my mortgage or insurance?
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.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
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.
I have very limit funds for a deposit - how much do I need to pay?
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.

Posted on Google Dean BrettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great meeting with Graham today to discuss getting my first mortgage as a first-time buyer. He was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making the whole process much less daunting. Graham gave me confidence in taking the next steps towards buying my first home. I really appreciate his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable mortgage advice. Thank you,Posted on Google Rachael PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing! Tanya, Matt and Richard and George have all been so helpful, always available to help and just so knowledgeable. I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done. xxxPosted on Google Daniel PiercyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. George, James and Dyan, along with the the wider team at MAIN have been fantastic helping me and my wife setup our new mortgage, life insurance and wills. Taking the time to really understand our position, needs and personal circumstances! Would highly recommend!Posted on Google Nick RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our very first face-to-face meeting with George on 16th June the whole experience exceeded every expectation we had. We walked into the office expecting a formal, daunting meeting where we’d be told what we couldn’t do. As first-time buyers, we genuinely thought borrowing enough for the type of home we wanted would be difficult and that we’d have to compromise on our future plans. Within the first few minutes, George completely put us at ease. He was friendly, approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and had us laughing throughout the meeting. What could have been a stressful appointment instead felt like a conversation with someone who genuinely wanted to help us achieve our goals. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, answered every question we had without making us feel silly and gave us confidence that our dream home wasn’t out of reach. After just 45 minutes, we walked out feeling excited rather than overwhelmed. From that point onwards, the whole process has been unbelievably smooth. George and the team handled everything professionally while keeping us informed every step of the way. Whenever we had questions or worries, they were always on hand with reassurance and clear advice. We first met George on 16th June and already our mortgage has been accepted. We’re now simply waiting for the final stages with the solicitors on the house we’ve found. We honestly never imagined the process could move so quickly or feel so stress-free. A special thank you also goes to Molly, who was fantastic throughout. Her communication over the phone and by email was excellent. She always kept us updated, responded quickly to any queries and made sure we always knew what was happening next. Having that level of communication made such a difference. One thing this experience has taught us is just how valuable a mortgage advisor really is. Looking back, I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would try to navigate such a significant financial decision alone. Having an experienced team to guide you, explain everything clearly, deal with the paperwork and support you through every stage removes so much stress and uncertainty. If you’re looking for a mortgage advisor in West Kirby or anywhere across the Wirral, I couldn’t recommend Main Mortgages highly enough. George, Molly and the whole team have been exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge, communication and genuinely welcoming approach made one of the biggest milestones of our lives feel exciting rather than intimidating. Thank you all for helping us take this next step we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.Posted on Google EveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at MAIN have been amazing from start to finish. We made our initial appointment with George to discuss our options as first time buyers 6 weeks ago with no expectations we’d be able to get on the property ladder anytime in 2026! 6 weeks later we’ve had our offer accepted on a house that we love and had our mortgage offer yesterday. Everything was so easy, no question was an issue (even the 10,000th) can’t thank you guys enough! Especially George and Molly! Wouldn’t use anyone else.Posted on Google Fr34ksonaleashTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
