    As a mortgage broker in Carlisle I can also offer face-to-face and in-home appointments in the local area and Cumbria.

  • How long is the meeting?

    You can expect your initial meeting with Simon Walton to last up to one hour, though the complexity of your situation will determine how long it takes. Generally, mortgages will take under 30 minutes, insurance may take longer, but at this point it’s simply getting to know you and seeing what we can do for you.

  • What do I need to prepare

    Having any questions ready, as well as financial documents (such as savings or bank statements) can help you get the most out of your time with your financial advisor. For mortgages, if you’ve already found a home, it will be helpful to have information on the deposit and value.

    You might be asked for details about your medical history and how much you’d like to protect.

  • What does it cost me?

    The initial meeting with a GHL Direct financial advisor to discuss your needs is always at our advisor’s expense and without obligation. Our mortgage advisors charge based on the complexity of each case.

    Some mortgage brokers charge an up-front flat fee between £195 and £499, while others take commission from the lender or bank providing the loan. All of this will be explained to you by your mortgage advisor at the start of the meeting.

  • Why use a mortgage advisor

    Whether you’re buying your first home, expanding your property portfolio or remortgaging, our mortgage advice can be a significant help. Taking professional advice can make the difference between a successful mortgage application and being rejected.

    It may also lead to a much better value deal as we have access to over 50 of the top mortgage lenders in the UK. This may save you thousands of pounds over the mortgage term. We can even source exclusive products that your bank or building society may not offer.
