Most people need a mortgage to get on the property ladder, move home, remortgage, or invest in buy-to-let. With a mortgage, you repay the amount borrowed over time (typically 25–35 years), plus interest.
It depends on the type of mortgage, but most applications take 2–4 weeks from start to finish. Once connected, the mortgage advisers you work with will keep things moving, update you every step of the way, and help resolve any questions or blockers.
