Why don’t Birmingham Midshires offer mortgages directly?
To explain, Birmingham Midshires now does not offer mortgages directly to customers. Instead, they offer mortgages through a network of brokers and intermediaries.
This means that customers must go through a broker or intermediary to apply for a mortgage with Birmingham Midshires – existing customers must also employ a broker to use their services, whether that’s transferring to a new mortgage product or seeking further advances on an existing loan.
A mortgage broker with access to Birmingham Midshires products can communicate the finance options and oversee the entire process independently, unlike many other UK lenders with in-house mortgage brokers.
What mortgage products do BM solutions offer?
BM Solutions offer a range of mortgage products, some for existing customers only – such as mortgage transfers or advances on existing loans.
Here is a brief rundown:
- Buy-to-let – The range of fixed rate buy-to-let mortgages available from Birmingham Midshires includes two, three and five-year fixed rate deals. The rates vary depending on the loan amount and the mortgage term.
- Let-to-buy – BM Solutions offer let-to-buy mortgages, at a fixed rate, for two and five year terms – with up to 75% LTV (Loan-to-Value). It is important to note that the higher the LTV, the higher the interest rate can be on a particular product. But criteria and several other factors can change rates – this is why it is important to seek out an experienced broker.
BM Solutions also offer products for existing customers only:
- Mortgage transfers – If you already have a mortgage with BM solutions, you may want to transfer to a different product when considering the expensive SVR (standard variable rate) that you’ll switch to when your current deal ends.
- Further advances – As an existing customer, you can acquire additional borrowing on an existing loan. It is best to seek the aid of a mortgage advisor to provide you with the necessary information on seeking further advances. With BM solutions, advances can be arranged on both buy-to-let and let-to-buy mortgages – with fixed rates and tracker rates applied to both, while advances on let-to-buy will have only fixed rate deals.
Why are mortgage brokers useful?
Regardless of whether you’re seeking a mortgage through BM solutions, having the expertise of a broker on your side is beneficial. Despite the extra fee, a broker’s knowledge is well worth the additional cost.
A mortgage broker can help you in several ways, including:
- Assessing your financial situation and recommending the most suitable mortgage products.
- Comparing mortgage products from different lenders to find the best deal.
- Helping with the mortgage application process, including filling out the forms and negotiating with lenders.
- Advising on the most cost-effective mortgage options, including interest rates and fees.
- Providing support throughout the mortgage process, handling any issues that arise.
- Offering ongoing support, including reviewing and refinancing options as your circumstances change.
