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

 

Typically we charge a fee of £995 for arranging a mortgage, however the actual fee will depend on your circumstances and if more work is required then we could charge more than this (up to 1% of loan applied), but we will make you aware at the start of the process.
