Frequently Asked Questions

What does a mortgage broker in London do?

A mortgage broker searches the whole market on your behalf to find the most suitable deal for your circumstances. Unlike going directly to a bank, where you only see their own products, a whole-of-market broker like Square Gain Capital compares deals from 50+ lenders, including specialist providers not on the high street. We manage your application, liaise with the lender, and guide you through to completion. The MoneyHelper website has a useful independent overview of why using a broker typically saves you both time and money.

Yes. We charge a broker fee, which is clearly disclosed before you commit to anything. We explain exactly what it covers and when it is due. We also receive a procuration fee (lender commission) when your mortgage completes: this is standard practice across the industry and is disclosed in full as required by the FCA. There are no hidden charges. For full details before booking, see our Why Choose Us page or get in touch and we will walk you through it.

A mortgage in principle (MIP), also called an agreement in principle (AIP), is a conditional statement from a lender confirming how much they would be willing to lend you, based on a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score. Most estate agents ask for one before accepting an offer, and we can typically arrange yours within 24 hours.

Yes. Being self-employed does not stop you from getting a mortgage: it simply means you need the right lender. Most high-street banks ask for two to three years of accounts or SA302 tax returns, but specialist lenders will consider just one year of trading history, or assess income based on contracts and day rates. Our self-employed mortgage advisers know exactly which lenders to approach for sole traders, contractors, freelancers, and limited company directors.

Yes. We cover the full range of property finance. For landlords, we advise on buy-to-let mortgages, limited company SPV structures, portfolio landlord finance, and HMO mortgages. For businesses and developers we arrange commercial mortgages, business loans, and development finance. Use our free buy-to-let yield calculator to assess any investment property before we speak.
