  I had an excellent experience with Kerr and Watson and would happily recommend them. A special mention has to go to James, who provided exceptional service throughout. He was professional, approachable, clear in his communication and always willing to help. His support made a huge difference, and we genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. I would not hesitate in recommending K&W to any family or friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

▸ ▾ Is it better to use a mortgage broker or go directly to a bank?

Using a mortgage broker gives you access to multiple lenders rather than just one bank’s products. An independent, whole-of-market mortgage broker can compare options across high street and specialist lenders, helping you apply for the most suitable mortgage first time.

▸ ▾ What does a mortgage broker do?

A mortgage broker assesses your income, outgoings, credit history and deposit to recommend the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances. They compare lenders across the market, submit your application, liaise with underwriters and work alongside your conveyancer until your purchase or remortgage completes.

▸ ▾ Can a mortgage broker access better deals?

An independent mortgage broker can compare products across a wide range of lenders, including some intermediary-only deals. While rates are set by lenders, a broker helps ensure you apply for the most suitable and competitive option available.

▸ ▾ What does whole-of-market mean?

Whole-of-market means a mortgage broker can access products from a broad range of lenders rather than being restricted to one bank or a limited panel. This gives you more flexibility and potentially better-suited mortgage options.

▸ ▾ How much does a mortgage broker cost?

Mortgage adviser fees vary depending on the complexity of your case. Some advisers charge a flat fee, while others are paid via lender commission. At Kerr & Watson, our fees are explained clearly upfront so you understand exactly what you’re paying and why.

▸ ▾ How much can I borrow for a mortgage?

Most lenders offer between 4 and 4.5 times your annual income, subject to affordability checks. The exact amount depends on your income, monthly commitments, credit history and deposit size. A mortgage broker can provide a personalised estimate based on your full financial situation.

▸ ▾ How quickly can I get an Agreement in Principle?

An Agreement in Principle can often be arranged within 24 hours once your key financial details have been reviewed. This provides an indication of how much you may be able to borrow and can strengthen your position when making an offer on a property.

▸ ▾ How long does it take to get a mortgage offer?

A mortgage offer is typically issued within two to six weeks after submitting a full application. Timescales vary depending on the lender, valuation process and complexity of your case. Providing accurate documents from the outset can help speed up the process.

▸ ▾ What documents do I need to apply for a mortgage?

Most lenders require proof of identity, proof of address, recent payslips or tax calculations, bank statements and details of your deposit. Self-employed applicants may also need accounts or SA302s. Your mortgage adviser will confirm exactly what is required before applying.

▸ ▾ Do I need a deposit to get a mortgage?

Yes, most mortgages require a minimum deposit of 5% of the property value. A larger deposit can improve the range of lenders available to you and may secure a more competitive interest rate.

▸ ▾ Can I get a mortgage if I’m self-employed?

Yes, many lenders offer mortgages to self-employed applicants. You will usually need at least one to two years of accounts or tax returns. A specialist mortgage broker can help match you with lenders who understand variable or complex income structures.

▸ ▾ Can I get a mortgage with bad credit?

It may still be possible to get a mortgage with adverse credit, depending on the severity and how recent the issues were. Specialist lenders consider applicants who may have been declined elsewhere. An independent mortgage broker can review your options carefully before applying.

▸ ▾ What happens if I’ve been declined for a mortgage?

A mortgage decline does not necessarily mean you cannot secure a mortgage. Different lenders have different criteria. A mortgage broker can identify why you were declined and approach lenders whose criteria better fit your situation.

▸ ▾ Can I arrange my mortgage remotely?

Yes. Our mortgage advice process can be completed remotely via telephone, email and video call, allowing us to support our customers wherever you are located.

▸ ▾ Do I need a mortgage broker if I’ve already found a property?

No. You do not have to use a mortgage broker simply because you have found a property. However, a broker can still compare suitable lenders, check criteria, arrange an Agreement in Principle or mortgage application and help manage the process through to completion.
