What is the mortgage application process for a purchase?

Mortgages can be daunting, especially if you’re a first-time buyer. At Thameside Mortgages, however, from your first enquiry to getting the keys, we will be on hand to guide and support you every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect:

1.) Our mortgages brokers in Kent will start with an initial chat so we can gather some details. This will give us an idea of how much you can borrow, your maximum purchase price, the costs associated with the mortgage and your approximate monthly repayments.

2.) You’ll then receive an email detailing this information and setting out your next steps should you wish us to proceed to find an Agreement in Principle (AIP).

3.) Once you have an AIP, we will send you a full list of documentation we will need to complete the application. If you are purchasing a new property, you can now go and start house hunting, and we will check in with you every 1-2 weeks. 

4.) Once your offer has been accepted and we have the information required to submit an application, we will ensure the survey (valuation) of the property is arranged and send the required documents to the mortgage lender. Our job is to obtain a formal mortgage offer (approval) as quickly as possible.

5.) At this point, there are numerous areas we can help with. Firstly, we would look to ensure you have the right level of insurance to protect you, your family and your home. Things can get complicated and confusing during the legal process, so we will always be on hand to help you with each step and provide the solicitor with any documents in relation to your purchase. We’ll continue to liaise with you and the solicitors to ensure clear and smooth communication and regular updates right through to the point of completion. So you never feel left in the dark or overwhelmed and confused by jargon.

6.) Once completed, you can relax, feeling confident that you have the right mortgage and protection. 

We’ll now take care of you for as long as you have a mortgage and beyond. We will be in touch six months before your new deal is about to end and walk you through the process again.

What is the mortgage application process for a remortgage?

Interest rates have risen significantly since the turn of 2022, meaning thousands of people are coming to the end of low-interest rate mortgage deals. It’s incredibly difficult to know whether to gamble on rates reducing or take the security of a long-term fixed rate. 

When there are six months left on your current deal, it’s the perfect time to assess your options. Don’t worry. You won’t pay a penalty for coming out of your current deal early. You will just secure a deal ready for when the current mortgage product comes to an end.

At Thameside Mortgages, from your initial conversation to the completion of your remortgage, we will provide you with the pros and cons of the thousands of mortgage products out there, ensuring we choose a product that suits your needs and attitude to risk. Here’s what you can expect:

1.) We’ll start with an initial chat so we can gather some details. This will give us an idea of your existing mortgage details (balance/term/interest rate/when your deal ends). 

2.) We’ll guide you through the various mortgage options, such as fixed rate vs variable rates and short-term vs long-term deals.

3.) This will be the perfect time to decide whether you’re happy keeping all aspects of your mortgage the same, such as the loan amount and the mortgage term, or if you would like to consider raising extra finances at the same time to make home improvements or clear some debt.

4.) Invariably, we will compare the mortgages your existing lender can offer against the thousands of other products available to you.

5.) You’ll then receive an email detailing your options, setting out your next steps to secure the deal and a full list of the information we will need to complete your application. 

6.) Once we submit your application, we will send the required documents to the mortgage lender, and our team will work hard to obtain the formal mortgage offer/approval as quickly as possible.

7.) We will look to ensure you have the right level of insurance to protect you, your family and your home. We will liaise with you and the solicitors to ensure clear and smooth communication and regular updates right through to the point of completion. So you never feel left in the dark or overwhelmed and confused by jargon.

8.) Once your remortgage has completed, you can relax, feeling confident that you have the right mortgage and protection for your needs.

9.) We will take care of you for as long as you have a mortgage and beyond. We will be in touch six months before your new deal rate is about to end and walk you through the process again.

They had excellent communication, were brilliant at chasing our lender and keeping things moving quickly, they were also fantastic at finding the best mortgage deal and helping you with every step of the way.

    I was highly recommended Thameside Mortgages and they didn't disappoint! The process was stress free, professional and very efficient. Nothing was a problem. Everything was explained fully and no question was to much trouble to answer in a way that I could understand. I also took out insurances too which were highly competitive! Great company and service received.

    Laura Biggs Avatar Laura Biggs
  • Having used a number of mortgage advisors in the past, I can say that Thameside were a breath of fresh air. We have an unusual situation and were told we couldn’t get what we needed from other advisors. Thameside were able to arrange a mortgage and kept us updated constantly and were available any time to discuss all the usual issues. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage.

    Christian Willmore Avatar Christian Willmore

    Absolutely the best, most helpful and speedy broker I've ever worked with - Thameside sorted everything including finding the right mortgage and insurances for me, guiding me through the applications and keeping me posted throughout the process. Particular thanks for their endless patience with me dithering over every decision, but because of their honest and clear advice, I'm completely comfortable I've made the right choices. I really couldn't recommend these guys enough!

    Kate D Avatar Kate D

  • Andrew and his team did an amazing job on our mortgage and the surrounding process. We had our offer in principle within 24 hours of contacting them. The on boarding was seamless and laura kept us updated with progress from our solicitors throughout the wider conveyancing process which means we were always well informed. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone

    Phil Wrigglesworth Avatar Phil Wrigglesworth

    We have used Thameside Mortgages now for six of our remortgages over many years. Andrew and his team have been absolutely outstanding. They have always delivered on the best mortgage for us, based on our changing family circumstances, and also have brought ideas and advice that has been extremely helpful to guide us in making the best choice. What has been very impressive is that they are focused on a long-term relationship, not simply a quick commission, and have a few times taken us to mortgage offer stage, where we have backed out for various personal reasons, and they have not asked for any payment for much time and effort on their part getting that far in the process. I am reassured to know where to go for our mortgage advice!

    J Avatar J

    I genuinely can't thank Andrew and Laura enough for all of their hard graft through a very stressful process! The sleepless nights have been totally worth it!! I couldn't have done this with out your superb guidance. Professional, caring, excellent communication, explations to a solo first time buyer that doesn't always understand the jargon that comes with process. I was told by several people I didn't earn enough, needed a partner, better paid job to get on the property ladder. Andrew took this as a challenge and found me an excellent mortgage deal, twice!! I am so, so happy that I chose them to make this a lot easier. I genuinely can't recommend Thameside Mortgages enough. Forever grateful!

    Lauren Cosgrove Avatar Lauren Cosgrove

    Noah Kirby Avatar Noah Kirby

    My partner and I have used Andrew and his team several times now and will continue to do so, or recommend him, wherever possible. Whether it’s a mortgage, buildings, contents or life insurance, Andrew and his team, without fail, go above and beyond in delivering an exceptional service and client experience from start to finish. Andrew and his team respond speedily by email and/or make themselves available to speak directly. Their insight is incredibly valuable and offer kindness and patience too at a time when decisions can be more challenging. Additionally, Andrew has offered suitable products where other advisers have been unable. Thank you Thameside - you are absolutely our ‘go to’ and your service is genuinely appreciated at a time when it is needed!

    Andrew and Laura have been very helpful every time we have spoken to them. They have quickly processed our transactions and responded to any issues immediately. We highly recommend Thameside Mortgages and all the services they offer. Thank you for helping us through our recent propert purchase.

    Gilly Wright Avatar Gilly Wright

    After the purchase of our property we were in search of a good mortgage broker and our estate agent recommended Andrew. After speaking to Andrew we were confident we had found the right person to entrust finding us something as important as our first mortgage. We provided Andrew with all the necessary details and with his extensive experience and knowledge in this field, he was able to find us a very good mortgage deal. It was a pleasure working with Andrew and he was there to help and support us from the initial stages of the mortgage to the final completion day. When we needed to remortgage, Andrew helped us find another good deal, providing the same care and support as before. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for an experienced and professional yet very approachable and friendly expert broker who will help guide them through the whole mortgage process. Thank you so much Andrew and Lydia for all your help recently.

  • Andrew has dealt with our mortgage and remortgage since we bought our first home 12 years ago. The service and advice is always spot on, hence why we always return without question. It's peace of mind knowing we can trust Thameside to take care of everything and give us the advice we need.

    Rhys Jones Avatar Rhys Jones

    Couldn't recommend Thameside Mortgages enough, both Andrew and Laura have and continue to be a huge support in the process for us.

They have made a stressful process much easier and we couldn't have wished for a better service.

  • Andrew and the team at Thameside Mortgages provided a fantastic service throughout our re-mortgage process. From detailing how it all works and what steps we have to take along the way with taking care of our best interests. Andrew was also able to sort out life insurance for me and my partner ensuring we are protected with what we seemed necessary. I very much look forward to using Thameside Mortgages in the future and would recommend anyone else to do so.

    Jordan Smith Avatar Jordan Smith

    Introduced to Mr Sheen in 2016 and using his services for me and my family since then. When I was looking for the second mortgage, I was unable to find him at his earlier employers, as he had meanwhile started Thameside Mortgages. I spent two days on internet, found him and contacted. I appreciate 7 respect his services, integrity & professionalism.

    Rajen Saraswati Avatar Rajen Saraswati

    I've been working with Andrew and his team for a few years now. After recently completing a re-mortgage with Thameside I thought I'd leave a quick review to help others looking for help with the mortgage and to show my appreciation to everyone at Thameside. Their customer service is fantastic. Each time the process is completely stress free. The team are knowledge and always willing to go above and beyond to help make the process go smoothly. They take the time to explain the products they offer in a way that is easy to understand. They are profession and personable at the same time. I especially like the person touches the team do, like sending a thank you card on completion. I would highly recommend the services they offer. Keep up the good work Thameside.
