Mortgages for Barristers

Capital Fortune are a blessing…I feel like I’ve got the best rate on the market and a very personable and friendly service. Reuben, South London, SE27

Often Barristers we assist, express their frustration in finding an appropriate lender who fully understands the legal profession. They have usually undertaken their own detailed homework and are aware of the thousands of mortgages advertised nationally, the different comparison websites, direct lender deals and all the numerous brokers all stating they are best to help. They usually have seen the wide array of products, rates but are concerned by all the additional charges made by lenders, increasing the overall costs on any mortgage deal. They usually have undertaken their own analysis of products but may need a little assistance and are sometimes left unsure how to conclude their mortgage search. Barristers we help in similar situations, typically tell us of their annoyance at the range of different lending criteria and wish to understand whether they simply qualify for a specific deal. They just want the overall best mortgage but appreciate the risks in being declined by a lender. They usually have a healthy deposit for a purchase or significant equity to undertake a re-mortgage. They find it difficult to understand why many lenders may not consider their individual circumstances and they want to ensure when choosing a mortgage they get it absolutely right. They may have spoken to a number of brokers without success, before making contact with us.

They arranged a re-mortgage for us…. which was unusual and certainly must have been difficult. It went through smoothly, more smoothly than any other mortgage I’ve taken out. RH, Stanmore
