A mortgage broker or adviser is a qualified professional who compares mortgages across multiple lenders on your behalf. You do not need one to get a mortgage, but a good one can save you time, widen your options and often secure a better deal, especially if your situation is not straightforward.

Some brokers and advisers are fee-free and paid by the lender when your mortgage completes. Others charge a flat fee or a percentage of the loan, typically between £300 and £750. Every listing shows the fee structure so you can compare like for like.

A whole-of-market broker or adviser can recommend products from most lenders. A tied or panel broker only works with a limited list. Whole-of-market usually gives you the widest choice, but a tied broker with strong lender relationships can still be a good fit for specific cases.
