Why use a Scottish Mortgage Broker (vs your bank)
Wondering why you should work with a broker vs going directly to your bank? Below is a quick breakdown of the main benefits:
Using a Broker Vs Direct to Lender
| Topic | Using a Mortgage Broker | Going Direct to a Lender |
| Choice & access | Access to a wide panel of lenders, including high street and specialist lenders, plus broker-only deals where available. | Limited to that bank’s own products. |
| Advice & suitability | Independent, regulated advice based on your circumstances and affordability. | No independent comparison; product sales bias possible with advice limited to own range. |
| Credit impact | Soft search used for initial assessment and MIP, reducing unnecessary hard searches. | Multiple applications can result in repeated hard credit checks. |
| Criteria & complex cases | Support for self-employed income, multiple income streams and adverse credit cases (IVAs, DMPs, defaults, CCJs), subject to lender criteria. | Restricted to internal lending policy, which may limit options. |
| Speed & admin | Case management and paperwork support, including liaison with lenders and solicitors. | You chase the bank and manage the process directly with the bank. Can result in slower progress. |
| Rate monitoring | Lock a rate early. Options are reviewed and updated where possible before completion to get you the best deal. | Limited to that lender’s updates and changes. |
| Ongoing support | 24/7 support through the application process, including reminders around key dates. | You must track dates and changes yourself. |
| Fees & transparency | Free initial advice. Fee only applies if you proceed with a mortgage offer you accept. | Bank product fees vary; advice may be limited. |
