Mortgages and loan guides are not the same as comparison websites – why is that important to you?

Comparison websites are simply best buy tables. Each lender can only offer you “their best” product. So, you will never get to see what the other 99% of the market has to offer. If you don’t qualify for their “best buy”, their next best could be far worse than a lender you have not considered.

Think about it: If you wanted advice on the best car for you, you wouldn’t go to a dealer which only sells one type of car. It’s more likely you would listen to someone who knows about every type of car. Including what’s good, what’s bad and can consider all of your requirements, to help find the best car for you.

Mortgages and loans are undeniably very similar. Often, you want to consider them side by side and look at the whole market. But do you want to be railroaded in to one type of finance to make someone else’s life easier?

At Promise Money, we don’t want to pigeonhole you. As a regulated credit and mortgage broker, our lenders represent the whole of the market. We aim to open up as much choice as possible, inform you, and finally help you get the right outcome.

Before you start – understand this…..

You might want to better understand how you look to a lender. Individual lenders will look at your overall circumstances, but they particularly want to know about your credit history. Basically, most of the time, it’s not just about your credit score.

Many lenders ignore credit scores and look at the details on all of your current and historic credit. This is actually good news, because they make decisions based on the actual data rather than you needing to hit a random credit score number.

For example, did you know there are lenders which will ignore all poor credit, if it happened more than a year ago? Or don’t mind if you have a few missed payments recently? Therefore, you should really have the information lenders will see, it’s also free. So, before you start, you can click the button below to get a free credit search.
