How we work

The PBS Mortgage Advice Journey

Our mortgage advice journey is designed to guide you through every step, ensuring you make informed decisions about your financial future.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. During this session, we get to know you, your financial situation, and your goals. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to remortgage, our friendly advisors are here to listen and understand your needs.

Financial Assessment

Next, we conduct a thorough financial assessment. We'll review your income, expenses, credit history, and any existing debts to determine your borrowing capacity. This step helps us provide you with realistic mortgage options tailored to your unique situation.

Exploring Mortgage Options

With a clear understanding of your finances, we explore a wide range of mortgage products from various lenders. Our advisors explain the differences between fixed-rate, variable-rate, and interest-only mortgages, helping you understand the pros and cons of each. We aim to find the best mortgage deal that aligns with your financial goals and budget.

Mortgage Agreement in Principle

Once we've identified suitable mortgage options, we will obtain a Mortgage Agreement in Principle (AIP). This document indicates how much you can borrow and shows sellers and estate agents that you're a serious buyer. An AIP can give you a competitive edge in a hot property market and confidence in obtaining a mortgage.

Mortgage Application

Once you’ve found a property, we complete your mortgage application. Our team ensures all required documentation is in order and submits the application to your chosen lender. We keep you informed throughout the process, addressing any queries you might have.

Valuation and Underwriting

After submitting your application, the lender will arrange for a property valuation to ensure it's worth the amount you're borrowing. Concurrently, the underwriting process begins where the lender reviews your financial details in-depth. We liaise with the lender on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and timely process.

Mortgage Offer

Upon successful completion of the valuation and underwriting, you'll receive a formal mortgage offer. We'll review the offer with you, explaining all terms and conditions to ensure you fully understand the commitment. We will also advise on your mortgage and family protection needs and explain the next steps with solicitors.

Completion

Finally, on the completion day, the mortgage funds are released, and you receive the keys to your new home. We'll be there to celebrate with you and provide any further assistance you may need.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Why Should I Use a Mortgage Broker?
Using a mortgage broker provides access to a wide range of lenders, expert advice, and personalised solutions.  We do the work in finding and arranging the best mortgage, saving you time and money.  
How Long Does It Take to Get a Mortgage Agreement in Principle?
We can usually get a Mortgage Agreement in Principle within 24 hours, depending on the lender and your financial situation.
What Are Your Charges for Mortgage Advice?
We don’t charge upfront fees. We will explain our charges prior to any work, and any fee is only typically payable on issue of a mortgage offer.
What Documents Do I Need to Apply for a Mortgage?
You'll generally need proof of income, bank statements, ID, and details of any debts or other financial commitments.

Great financial advice, very clear and concise and with no pressure. I’ve used Ross a couple of times now and he couldn’t be more helpful, that goes for the rest of the team too. Excellent company to use would recommend to anybody thinking about financial/mortgage advice.

We have used PBS's services quite a few times and every time we have had fantastic service. Ross, in particular, is professional, helpful and understanding.

Cannot rate PBS financial solutions highly enough. Paul has always been very helpful, listening to our changing needs and giving us sound advice and direction in relation to mortgage renewals.
