The amount needed for a deposit on a property will depend on what mortgage brokers are offering. However there are government schemes which can help if you have a smaller deposit. Currently the 5% deposits are helping those that cannot afford a large deposit, especially as house prices are increasing. For information on the current market in Poole call us today on 01202 621900.


There are two parts to conveyancing fees; the legal fees and the disbursements. The disbursements include local searches, any leasehold related fees and the fee for transferring the mortgage money. For further information on this call our sales team today on 01202 621900.


Surveys are well worth having as a surveyor can find any problems that may have been missed by yourself when completing viewings. Please make sure when choosing a surveyor that they are a member of either Rics, Sava or RPSA as these are the three main accrediting bodies. This can confirm your dream home stays a dream rather than a nightmare! If you need any help choosing a surveyor in Poole call us today on 01202 621900 and we can advise you.


Mortgage valuation costs are where the building society will want to do a valuation on the property themselves to make sure it is worth the amount they are lending you.

Mortgage arrangement costs are for the mortgage itself which is usually between £0-£2000 and can be added to the mortgage if required. You can find out exactly how much this will cost via your financial advisor or lender.

We would recommend you choose a mortgage broker who has access to the full market and offer fee-free advice.
