4. How can Blueberry help you?
Convenience
Most mortgage advisers insist that you
visit them at their offices which means
you having to wait for the first available
appointment, taking time off work, the
inconvenience of travel and possibly
organising child minders.
At Blueberry we put you first. Our process
can be face to face or telephone based so
you can call from the comfort of your own
home at a time that suits you. Just sit back
and relax and let us help you to find the
most suitable product.

High Street lenders you know and trust
together with smaller Building Societies
and niche lenders.

choice we know that we will be able to
match the best product to suit your needs.

with individual needs. Our advisors have

5. How much can you borrow?
One of the first things to do is speak to one of our advisers and get an idea of how much
you can comfortably afford to borrow. It is important that this figure remains affordable if
interest rates rise in the future.
How does a repayment mortgage work?
Your monthly payment is made up of “capital” (the amount borrowed) and interest. In the
early years you pay more interest than capital back but as the mortgage progresses you
pay off more of the property value. As long as you keep up your payments your mortgage
will be paid off by the end of the mortgage term.

6. The next step is to establish which type of mortgage scheme is best suited to your
circumstances. To do this you need to ask yourself a few questions.
What is my attitude to risk? Am I cautious? Would I prefer to know what my monthly
payments are each month and know that I can budget accordingly?
Do I have sufficient savings to take a lower initial pay rate on the understanding that if
interest rates increase my payments would rise accordingly?
Would I like a flexible mortgage where I can increase/decrease payments to take into
account my fluctuating income, bonus payments and tax bills?
Are my circumstances likely to change in the near future? If so could I avoid penalties and
move my mortgage to another property?

7. Conveyancing - If you are buying or selling a house you will need a solicitor/conveyancer
to complete the legals.
Stamp duty - this is a tax payable to Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC). This is
at a tiered rate dependent on the purchase price of the property.
Protecting your mortgage – buying a home is perhaps the largest financial commitment
you will make, it is essential that should the worse happen, your home and family are
protected. Blueberry will tailor a policy to give you complete peace of mind.
Buildings & Contents Insurance – once you have purchased your new home, you will
need to ensure that both your property and your valuables are fully protected. Blueberry
will compare the market and provide you with a competitive quotation.
So what do I need to do and when?
Call Blueberry to find how much you can borrow.
Find a property that is within your budget.
Once your offer is accepted, call Blueberry to get mortgage approved
in principle.
At this stage, you will need to instruct a solicitor or conveyancer.
Blueberry will liaise with you and the lender to get your mortgage offer
issued as quickly as possible.
Once you have your mortgage offer you can exchange contracts and
agree a date for completion.
Move in and enjoy your new home!
