What should I consider when looking for a mortgage in Glasgow and is a local broker worth using?

A PoundWise Team Answered by

Mortgage options in Glasgow depend on your deposit, income, credit history, monthly outgoings and the type and location of property you want to buy. Flats in tenements or properties requiring repairs can sometimes need additional lender checks, so ask about these early in the process. A local mortgage broker may know which FCA-authorised lenders are more suitable, but compare fees and check that the broker’s advice is independent or covers a broad range of lenders. You can also use MoneyHelper and official lender information to understand affordability before applying.
