Mortgages

We pride ourselves on working with every lender who lends against UK property – these range from the High Street Lenders, Specialist Banks and Private Banks. At MFS we are committed to keeping our clients informed – but we want that information to be as helpful and accurate as possible. We don’t publish the ‘Best rates’ tables you find on most brokers’ websites. They are misleading, circumstantial and only showcase a limited panel of lenders. Our expert Southall based advisers are all paid a salary – and not commission – which means you can have confidence that the only interests they’re working for are yours. Our independent mortgage advisers will undertake a comprehensive search of the market and pick out a deal that’s right for your circumstances. We are fully accredited and regulated by the FCA. On some mortgage applications, we receive a commission fee from the lender on completion. This is separate from our administration fee and is an additional fee we receive.
