Your July round-up is here 🎬

⚽ First things first, England’s World Cup exit hurt. Sort it out, Tuchel 👀

📰 Industry update: with Andy Burnham now PM, there’s a fair bit of political uncertainty about, and some lenders have already nudged rates up slightly as a result.

💡 Our top tip? Speak to a good broker before you apply. If your rate improves down the line, a broker can review it for you, so being prepared now puts you in a good spot later.

🩺 We were proud to support NHS teams in Exeter and Barnstaple last month, waiving our usual advice fee for NHS workers as a thank you for everything they do.

🔁 Full circle moment: James started out as a mortgage adviser in Newton Abbot years ago, and we’ve just opened a TMQ office there with a local estate agent! Say hello to Jon, Holly and Shane, who you’ll now find working from Newton Abbot.

Meet Holly, one of our case managers at The Mortgage Quarter.

Holly talks through what happens once an application is submitted: chasing documents, liaising with lenders and solicitors, and keeping everything on track so clients aren’t left juggling three different companies themselves.

It’s a simple point, but an important one. After submission, things don’t just sit still. There’s someone actively pushing it along, even when it doesn’t feel like much is happening.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1%, but a typical fee is 0.3% of the actual amount borrowed.

Before you view a single property, there’s one thing worth sorting first: your agreement in principle. It’s the starting point Shane always points first-time buyers to, and it shapes how ready you’ll look to sellers and estate agents from day one.

His message to anyone feeling nervous about it all: take it one step at a time, and ask questions early rather than guessing.

James tackles one of the most common myths we hear from self-employed clients, that being self-employed automatically makes getting a mortgage harder, or even impossible. In reality, it changes the process. It doesn’t close the door.

The key is knowing which lenders are comfortable with self-employed income, and how each one assesses it differently; insight that’s not always obvious when going direct. And if you’ve been turned down before, it’s worth remembering: one “no” doesn’t mean the whole market says no. Different lenders take different views, so a second opinion could be worth having before ruling it out.

This applies to sole traders, contractors, and limited company directors alike, anyone who’s been told their situation is “too complicated” simply because they don’t have a standard payslip.

Everyone thinks about the mortgage. Nobody thinks about this bit 👀

We sat down with Rich to talk protection insurance. It’s the conversation most people skip until they really need it.

In this Q&A, Rich breaks down:
💬 What protection insurance actually is
💬 The biggest misconception people have about it
💬 What could happen to your mortgage if you couldn’t work for a few months
💬 Why it costs nothing to just have the chat

You’ve worked so hard to get your mortgage sorted, protection is just about making sure one bad moment doesn’t undo all of that 🏡

Never really thought about it before? You’re not alone. That’s exactly why we made this video 🎥

A question we’re often asked: “What’s the actual benefit of using a broker?”

Here’s one number that captures it well: we have access to over 12,000 products from more than 90 lenders.

For context, most high street banks can only offer their own range. As brokers, we have access to the whole market, including lenders that aren’t accessible directly to the public.

More options on the table can mean a more suitable outcome for the client in front of us, whatever their circumstances.

If you’re weighing up your options on a mortgage, we’d be glad to have a no-obligation conversation.
