WHY CHOOSE HYDE ASSOCIATES
You are protected
An important thing to understand is that when you receive both mortgage and protection advice, we have a duty of care to you. We have to recommend a suitable product and be able to justify why the particular product we have chosen is right for you. If our advice is not up to scratch, you can complain and be compensated.
In contrast, if you go directly to a high street mortgage lender, don't take advice, and end up with a mortgage that later becomes unaffordable, you may not have as much legal recourse. (Under the rules of the Mortgage Market Review, it's the lender's responsibility to ensure affordability – so even if you buy direct, you could have some recourse. Nonetheless, we can offer a valuable layer of protection.)
Our Brokers are all fully qualified
There is an awful lot to think about when choosing the right mortgage. It is often not the case of simply opting for the cheapest fixed or tracker rate mortgage you can find.
We have to be qualified to give you mortgage advice, whereas you may not get that kind of guarantee if you ring up a lender's call centre.
We are on your side
We will look for the best mortgage for you. We aren't on the lender's side, we are on yours, and we'll give you access to far more products than if you went direct. You will get unbiased advice and will be able to choose from a range of lenders and subsequent products, rather than being restricted to the single range of the lender you go to.
We know the industry
Mortgage criteria has tightened massively over the last few years, with the Mortgage Market Review being the latest, and arguably widest-ranging, development. It has been designed to ensure borrowers can prove affordability, even in the event of a rate rise, and those extra checks have understandably increased application times.
That is why it is so important to stay in the loop – and to have us on your side who understands it all. We deal with lenders on a day-to-day basis, so we know what the application process is like for each one and can tell you which lenders can process your application with minimal delays.
We also know the background criteria that a lender has and can bring this experience to bear when advising you and processing your application.
Then there is the fact that, because we may have years of experience building up a relationship with many lenders, we can exert influence and chase things in a way you just can't do by yourself – and that can be invaluable should things get held up.
