Life doesn't always go to plan. Sometimes circumstances change, and your housing and mortgage needs change with them.

We supported a client who had recently separated from their partner and needed to explore mortgage options for their next chapter.

By looking at their individual circumstances and the options available, we helped them work towards securing a mortgage of their own.

These situations can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to work through every question alone 💙

BEFORE YOU START HOUSE HUNTING, READ THIS! 🏡

Ever heard of a "mortgage in principle" and wondered what it actually means?

It's an indication from a lender of how much they might be willing to lend you, based on the information you've provided.

It can help you understand your potential budget before you start viewing properties.

But remember:
🔎 It's not a formal mortgage offer.
📋 The lender will still need to assess your full application.
💷 The amount indicated isn't a guarantee you'll be able to borrow that much.

Getting an idea of your budget early can help you search more realistically and feel better prepared. Not sure how to get started? Dan and the TFD team can talk you through it 💙

Mortgages can feel complicated, especially when you're a first-time buyer.

🕵️‍♀️How much deposit do you need?
🕵️‍♀️What will the lender ask for?
🕵️‍♀️How much could you borrow?
🕵️‍♀️And what on earth does mortgage in principle actually mean?!

Take a breath. You don't need to know everything before you get in touch.

When you're comparing mortgages, it's tempting to focus on one thing: the interest rate.

But there's more to consider!

🔎 Mortgage fees – some deals come with product fees that can affect the overall cost.

📅 The deal period – are you looking at a fixed rate for two years, five years or something else?

💰 Your monthly payments – will they fit comfortably within your budget?

🔄 Flexibility – do the early repayment charges or overpayment options suit your plans?

The right mortgage isn't necessarily the one with the smallest headline rate. It's about looking at the bigger picture and finding an option that works for your circumstances.
