THE MORTGAGE CENTRE

THE MORTGAGE CENTRE reads like a brokerage or advice firm built around home loans, remortgaging and the paperwork that comes with them. By our assessment, that makes it useful for people who want a specialist to sort through lenders and forms instead of starting from scratch. The strength is focus: this kind of company usually knows the mortgage market, the jargon and the admin. The downside is that it is narrow by design, so it will not suit anyone looking for broad banking, and the result still depends on the deals available through its network. In practice, this sort of service means appointments, documents and some patience, not a quick purchase. THE MORTGAGE CENTRE sits in the middle ground between doing it all yourself and walking into a high-street bank.
