Understanding Your Status

How Our Southampton Mortgage Service Works

From your initial consultation to when your mortgage completes we manage the whole process for you. We coordinate with estate agents and solicitors where necessary to keep everyone moving towards your completion date.

1
Step 1 – Initial Consultation

A free, no obligation phone or video call to discuss your goals, deposit, income, credit history and the Southampton or Hampshire area you’re buying in. This gives us everything we need to start looking at your options.

2
Step 2 – Research & Recommendation

Your adviser will compare mortgage products across suitable lenders and prepare a tailored recommendation. You’ll receive an Illustration (ESIS) showing the interest rate, fees and total cost over the mortgage term so you can make an informed decision.

3
Step 3 – Decision in Principle

We can often get a Decision in Principle (DIP) the same day or within 24 hours. This is essential when making offers on houses in popular Southampton areas like Freemantle, Bitterne Park or Ocean Village where competition can be fierce.

4
Step 4 – Full Application & Valuation

We’ll handle the paperwork, submit your documents to the lender, liaise on your behalf and arrange the valuation or survey. You won’t need to chase – we do that for you.

5
Step 5 – Offer to Completion

We’ll track your case through underwriting, chase solicitors and other parties if needed and keep you updated through to exchange and completion. Once you’ve got your keys we’ll diarise a review before any fixed rate ends so you’re never left on an expensive standard variable rate.
