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.
