Assessment of the Client's Personal Circumstances Before Choosing a Mortgage Broker
Before choosing a mortgage broker, it is worth assessing personal circumstances that influence the ability to obtain a mortgage loan — employment type, credit score, residency status, and the purpose of purchasing property.
Solicitor’s actions:
- analysis of the client’s financial situation based on documents and statements;
- determination of the client’s legal status in the United Kingdom from the standpoint of mortgage lending;
- preparation of a personalised recommendation on the type of broker suitable for the specific situation;
- assessment of legal risks in involving an independent or bank-affiliated broker.

As a result of these actions, the client receives a clear legal picture of their chances of obtaining a favourable loan, along with recommendations on who and how to work with in the mortgage market.
Legal Review of Conditions Offered by the Mortgage Broker
Engaging a broker does not always guarantee the best loan conditions, so it is important to conduct a legal review of the proposed terms before signing any documents.
Solicitor’s actions:
- verification of the broker’s registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA);
- analysis of loan offer terms for hidden fees, commissions, or penalties;
- legal review of the agreement between the client and broker regarding remuneration and scope of services;
- consultation on protecting the client’s rights in case of poor performance by the broker.

As a result, the client obtains legal security: eliminating the risk of contracting with a fraudster or dishonest intermediary, and retaining control over all financial and legal aspects of the collaboration.
Legal Support During the Execution of a New Mortgage Agreement
Once a favourable offer and broker have been selected, the next step is proper documentation and support through to the deal’s completion.
Solicitor’s actions:
- review of the agreement with the lender for compliance with declared terms;
- amending or supplementing the draft agreement upon identifying unfavourable provisions;
- participation in negotiations with the broker and lender;
- explanation to the client of future loan obligations and possible risks;
- monitoring the broker’s next steps, including the bank application process.

As a result, the client enters into a mortgage agreement that matches their interests, without risk, with minimal servicing costs, maximum transparency, and a clear understanding of all obligations.

The legal marketplace team at Consultant helps clients not only find a favourable offer but also legally protect each stage of the deal.
