Remortgage Advice

Most people refinance their current mortgage debt to take advantage of the current market and benefit from cheaper mortgage rates but there are also many other reasons why you might be looking to remortgage –

Capital Raising: The cash could be for several reasons like home improvements, a holiday or maybe a new car. It might also be a necessity as getting divorced is a fact of modern life and many partners would prefer to stay in their current home if they could raise money to “buy out” their ex partner.
Debt Consolidating: This is the process of incorporating some or all of you unsecured debts i.e. credit cards, loans etc. within your mortgage debt.
Capital Raising for a Deposit: Purchasing a second property or a buy to let property is becoming more and more popular; saving for the deposit is quite a difficult process while already paying for a current mortgage.

New Build Mortgages

New Build Properties are a fantastic option whether you are a first time buyer, upsizing, downsizing or just looking to live in a modern home benefiting from lower running costs and energy bills. There are many other benefits of purchasing a new build property:

The property is a blank canvas so you can put your own stamp on it.

Is a new build property in Winchester right for you?

There are many important things to consider when deciding if a new build home is right for you. Just because a home is new, it does not mean it will be completely free from defects which may lead to negotiations with your builder. Depending on the stage of the development, you may spend the first few months or even years in your home on a building site. You may need a larger deposit for a new build property and timing your mortgage with your home completion can get complicated.

Help To Buy Mortgages

The help to buy scheme changes from 1st April 2021. This Help to Buy scheme offers an equity loan where the government lends first-time buyers money to buy a newly-built home. This must be used to buy your main residence and can’t be used to buy a second home or a buy-to-let property.

The help to buy scheme offers an equity loan where the government either lends up to 20% or 40% (For help to buy London) of the property to first time buyers or homeowners to purchase a newly built home.

How does Help To Buy Work?

You need at least 5% of the sale price of your new build property for the deposit. You can input a larger amount if you would like to.
The government lends you up 20% of the sale price
You borrow the rest from the mortgage lender for the remaining 75%
The loan will run for a maximum of 25 years
You don’t pay any interest or fees on the government equity loan for the first five years, in the sixth year you will be charged 1.75%

It is critical to get whole of market independent mortgage advice when using any government scheme because your mortgage broker will assess your full mortgage needs and recommend the type of specialist mortgage which is going to suit you. The maximum purchase price for a Help to Buy property depends on what region of England you live in. You can’t use Help to Buy to purchase a property above these limits.

Frequently Asked Questions - Mortgage Broker Winchester, Hampshire

Should you pay for a mortgage broker?

We offer amazing FEE FREE mortgage advice – look at our 5-star reviews from clients mortgages. As brokers for Winchester you are able to get expert local advice across a range of products.

Are you whole of market mortgage brokers? Do you deal with all mortgage lenders?

The short answer is yes. Some parts of the mortgage market do not like the term 'whole of market' as there are some lenders who do not use intermediaries (Advisers) at all, but we can confirm we have access to all lenders who use the intermediary market, so yes, we are what you call, a 'whole of market' mortgage broker.

Is mortgage protection but is this a good idea?

To answer whether life insurance or mortgage protection is worth it or not you have to ask yourself another question; Could you afford to maintain your current lifestyle if you or your partner were suddenly gone? In most cases, the answer will be no. So is Life Insurance worth it? Yes! Your expert broker will find the best and find the right deal for you.

Should I remortgage (product switch) with the same mortgage lender?

When your mortgage brokers provide independent mortgage advice we will assess your full situation. In some circumstances it might be worth staying with the same lender, this is called 'product switching', it is always worth speaking to a mortgage broker and getting mortgage advice as a small saving on your interest rate could end up saving you thousands of pounds therefore getting the best mortgage deal is important.

How do No Fee independent mortgage brokers get paid?

Once we have found our clients the best mortgage deal, when the new mortgage commences the mortgage lender then pays us a procuration fee. This is excellent news for our customers as there is no cost for them through the whole process of looking for a mortgage.

Our experience using Alexander Southwell Mortgage Services was second to none from start to finish.

Jamie was exceptionally professional and helpful. We are first time buyers and Jamie was more than happy to answer all (!) the questions we had, never making us feel silly (which can’t be said for everyone we’ve encountered in the process!). We didn’t have an easy situation to land a mortgage in, but Jamie went above and beyond to get us the best deal out there. We cannot be more grateful - thank you Jamie!

I used Alexander Southwell Mortgages twice, the first time just before lockdown and the second during lockdown. Jamie was very helpful, he always responded quickly.

Since then I have recommended Jamie to many friends and family as I feel he really cares and wants to find you the right mortgage for you unlike banks who I feel just want the £££. Xxx
