What is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a type of loan specifically designed for purchasing property. When you take out a mortgage, you borrow money from a lender, typically a bank or building society, with the property itself serving as collateral. This means that if you’re unable to repay the loan, the lender has the right to reclaim the property. Our mortgages usually come with a repayment period of anywhere from 15 to 30 years (maybe more dependant on your financial situation and LTV (loan to Value)), allowing you to spread the cost of your home over time while making manageable monthly payments.

At Legacy Financial, we offer a variety of mortgages suit your needs and circumstances. The most common mortgages are typically fixed-rate mortgages, where the interest rate remains the same for a set period. There is also the option for variable-rate mortgages, where the interest can fluctuate based on market conditions. Understanding these options is crucial for making informed decisions, as your mortgage is likely to be one of the most significant financial commitments you’ll make. At Legacy Financial, we’re here to help you navigate these choices, ensuring you find the best mortgage solution tailored to your unique situation.

Should you require any more information, our dedicated team is always here to support you, ensuring you have the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your mortgage journey.

How much you can borrow for a mortgage depends on a variety of factors, including your income, credit score, and existing financial commitments.

The lenders we work with typically assess your affordability by calculating your debt-to-income ratio and evaluating your overall financial health. To help you get a clearer picture, we have an an easy-to-use mortgage calculator on our website. Simply input your financial details and get an instant estimate on how much you may be able to borrow. Our team is also here to provide personalised guidance, ensuring you understand your borrowing potential and find a mortgage that suits your needs.

The mortgage application process can vary in duration, but typically, it takes between four to eight weeks from start to finish.

Factors that can influence the timeline include the complexity of your financial situation, the type of mortgage you’re applying for, and how quickly you can provide the necessary documentation. Once you submit your application, the lender will conduct a thorough assessment, including credit checks and property valuations, which can add time to the process.

At Legacy Financial, we aim to streamline your experience and keep you informed every step of the way. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the application process, ensuring everything goes smoothly and efficiently, so you can focus on finding your dream home.

Lenders assess how much you can afford to borrow by evaluating several key factors related to your financial situation (if there is 2 people how much you can borrow would be based on both of your financial commitments and status).

Typically lenders will start by examining your income, including salary, bonuses, and any additional earnings that you may, annually.

They’ll also look at your monthly expenses, such as existing debts, bills, and living costs, to calculate your debt-to-income ratio. This ratio helps lenders understand how much of your income goes toward paying off debts, giving them insight into your ability to take on a mortgage. A lender will in most cases multiply salaries by x 4.5. As an example, if your total income from salaries was £60,000 (per year), without taking anything into consideration the maximum you could afford would be £270,000 + your deposit (in some cases you could get more, this is why it’s best to speak to us to get a clear idea of what you can afford).

In addition to this, your credit score plays a significant role in determining your borrowing capacity. A higher credit score generally indicates a lower risk to lenders, which can result in more favourable terms and conditions. Other factors, like the size of your deposit and the type of mortgage you’re seeking, will also be taken into consideration. At Legacy Financial, we’re committed to helping you navigate this process, providing personalised support to help you understand your affordability and find the right mortgage for your needs.
