Our keys to keeping your costs down

Passion

We genuinely care about finding the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances, so will go the extra mile.

Process

We’re fast, and we know all the tricks of the trade to lock in a rate as early as possible, and then track it through to completion, making sure you get the lowest rate across the whole buying or remortgaging window (often 6 months).

Price

We keep our fees low without compromising on service, with fee-free advice and Agreements in Principle (AIPs). We offer cashback for first-time buyers and rate switchers, discounts for existing customers, and no fees for protection or insurance advice.

Efficiency

We know which lenders reward green home improvements and will factor their discounts and cashback into working out the best deal for you. If you’re buying a home that’s already got a great EPC, we’ll find the best ‘green reward’ mortgage for you too.

Plans

We always consider what’s next, so we advise on who will offer you a good deal next time around and factor in any likely exit fees.

Integrity

As a certified B Corp, we organise ourselves around people and planet, rather than chasing profit or excessive salaries. So we don’t consider the commission we’ll get, and we’ll tell you if going direct to a lender will work out better for you.

Our fees, payable at the point of application

Mortgages

Application type New customers Existing customer
Advice and Agreements in Principle £0 £0
Switch £0 £0
Standard £295 £245
Specialist £495 £445
A change to a new product with your current lender, or a like-for-like remortgage (same borrowing, same term, switching lender).
Most applications are standard (over 80%), so you can assume this is what you’ll pay unless we tell you otherwise.
Some applications need more work, so the fee is higher. This includes shared ownership, later-life lending, first homes, right to buy and other special schemes, complex residential applications (for example JBSP, complex income and/or credit, deposit from overseas), and complex buy-to-let (company BTL including SPVs, HMOs, student lets, MUFBs, let to a family member, and first-time buyer / first-time landlord cases).
Also a specialist application. Fees are usually deducted by the solicitor at completion – and are £595. If paid on application, this is reduced to £495.

Insurance

All insurance and protection we arrange for you £0

Cashback

First-time buyers

Buying your first home can be hard! We love being part of it, so we offer cashback as an incentive, and a thank you.

Purchase price Cashback
Under £200k £100
£200k – £400k £200
£400k + £300

Rate switchers

Looking for a simple rate switch with your current lender? If there are no other changes, we’ll give you 15% of the commission we receive as cashback (as long as that comes to £20 or more). We’ll also give 5% of the commission to charity.
Some examples below, based on a typical commission of 0.2%

Mortgage size Cashback Charity Donation
£400k £120 £40
£200k £60 £20
£100k £30 £10
£50k £0 * £5

* Cashback calculation comes to <£20, so none paid

Cashback is paid once we receive commission from a lender – typically one to two months after completion.

In-flight changes

These are changes you ask us to make to your application after it has been submitted, such as applying for a different mortgage product, changing the loan amount, or even the property you’re buying.
If this can be done within the same application:

1st change Subsequent changes
Free £45

If it requires a new application, a new fee will be charged, but at the ‘existing customer’ rate.

Why do we charge existing customers less?

We want to thank you for your loyalty. Since we already know you, any future applications are a little quicker, so we pass that saving on to you.

How do we make money?

Some of our income comes from the application fees above.

We also receive commission from your lender if you take out a mortgage, and from your insurance provider if you take out insurance with us. Exactly how much will be shown on the illustration you receive from your product. We do not consider how much commission we’ll receive when making a recommendation.

Usually, where we pass your details to another firm (such as a conveyancer or surveyor), they give us a referral bonus, typically 10% or less of what they charge you.

A few important things to note

Once the application is submitted, we give £60 to CAP UK, inHope, ClientEarth or Twin your Toilet. You choose.

Application fees are not refundable.

Full terms and conditions are available in our Client Agreement.
