Common things which people ask

  • What does a mortgage broker do?

    A mortgage broker acts as a middleman between you and the lender. We assess your needs, compare products from a wide range of lenders, and find the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances. We also handle the application process, saving you time, stress, and potentially money.

  • Why should I use Winwell Financial instead of going direct to a bank?

    Banks can only offer their own products. We have access to a wide range of lenders — including exclusive deals through our network, Quilter Financial Planning, which are not available directly to the public. Our job is to ensure you get the right mortgage, tailored to your situation, with expert advice every step of the way.

  • Do you charge a fee for your services?

    We offer a transparent fee structure. In most cases, we charge a fixed advice fee, which we will explain clearly before you proceed. This ensures you know exactly what you’re paying and when.

  • What types of mortgages do you arrange?

    We arrange residential, buy-to-let, let-to-buy, remortgages, first-time buyer, and specialist mortgages for complex situations. We also help with schemes such as Shared Ownership.

    MOST BUY-TO-LET MORTGAGES ARE NOT REGULATED BY THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY.

  • Can you help with both residential and buy-to-let mortgages?

    Yes — we work with homeowners, investors, and landlords. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, remortgaging an existing property, or expanding your portfolio, we can assist.

  • How does the mortgage application process work?

    It starts with an initial consultation to understand your needs. We then obtain an Agreement in Principle (AIP), gather the necessary documents, submit your application, liaise with the lender and solicitor, and guide you through to completion.

  • What documents will I need to provide?

    Typically, you’ll need proof of ID, proof of address, payslips or tax returns, bank statements, and details of any existing credit commitments. Self-employed applicants may also need business accounts.

  • How long does it take to get a mortgage offer?

    It depends on the lender and your circumstances, but most offers are issued within 2–4 weeks of application. We keep you updated throughout the process.

  • Will you handle all communication with the lender?

    Yes — we deal directly with the lender on your behalf, keeping you informed so you can focus on your move or investment.

  • Can you help if I have bad credit or a complex income?

    Yes — we have access to specialist lenders who can consider applications with previous credit issues, non-standard income, or unusual property types.
