Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my first payment higher?
Your mortgage is paid in advance. After you complete on your new mortgage, it can take a little time for the bank to set up your regular payments.
This means your first payment usually includes the interest that has built up from the day your mortgage started as well as your first full monthly payment.
The bank will write to you after completion to confirm the exact amount and payment date.
Do I need to visit your offices?
No. All business can be completed via email and telephone.
If you wish to arrange an office visit, please contact the team.
Do I need a survey/valuation?
As part of the mortgage process, the bank will carry out a basic valuation of the property. This is often free of charge, though some lenders may charge a small fee.
For extra peace of mind, you can choose to have a more detailed survey completed before you commit to buying. We work closely with a specialist provider who can help arrange this for you.
What insurances will I need when getting a mortgage?If you’re buying a freehold property, your lender will require you to have buildings insurance in place before completion. We can also help you arrange contents insurance to protect your belongings.
Beyond property insurance, we recommend considering personal protection such as Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover, and Income Protection. While these are not mandatory for your mortgage, they provide peace of mind by ensuring your mortgage and family are protected if something unexpected happens.
Because employer-provided insurance benefits can change, we don’t recommend relying solely on them to cover personal debt.
How much deposit will I need?
The minimum deposit required for a purchase in the UK is 5%.
The larger deposit you can provide, the lower the rate of interest the bank will charge.
Whilst there are products that allow you to purchase with 0 deposit, these tend to offer higher rates and have restricted criteria.
Speak to our team to find out more.
How long does the process take?
We can usually provide a good idea of your borrowing in a quick 15-20 minute call. An Agreement in Principle can be provided the same day, if required.
The full mortgage application process depends on the complexity of your situation, but rest assured our experienced client services team will project manage your application, liaising with all parties on your behalf to ensure a pain free process.
What makes Limitless different from other mortgage advisors?
We specialise in helping professionals with non-standard income, secure the loan they deserve – This includes RSU/GSU/Stock income and ad-hoc bonus or LTIP’s. We can also help Day Rate Contractors working inside or outside IR35, even if your income fluctuates.
With access to a wide range of lenders and a proven track record, we make it easy to secure the best mortgage deals even when your income is complex. Our service is individually tailored to your needs and offered completely free of charge.
What is the difference between a Standard Variable Rate and a Tracker Rate?
A Standard Variable Rate (SVR) is set by the lender and can change at any time. A Tracker Rate follows the Bank of England base rate and only changes when that rate changes.
For example, if the base rate rises, a tracker rate would usually increase by the same amount, while an SVR may or may not change.
What fees might I incur when taking out a mortgage?
Common fees include lender arrangement, valuation, and legal fees. While many brokers charge a broker fee, at Limitless we do not charge any fees. All our costs are covered by the bank, at no additional cost to you.
An early redemption fee may be payable if you redeem your existing mortgage deal early.
