Frequently asked

Answers to common questions.

For advice based on your circumstances, contact Rahul directly.

How much can I borrow?

It depends on your income, commitments, deposit, credit profile, property and the lender’s criteria. Rahul can help you estimate a realistic range before you set a property budget or make an offer.

How much does mortgage advice cost?

There may be a fee for mortgage advice, depending on your circumstances. Rahul will confirm the exact amount and when it becomes payable before you agree to proceed. The current estimate is £299, payable when a mortgage application is submitted.

Which lenders can RG Financial consider?

Before giving advice, Rahul will explain the range of lenders and mortgage products available through RG Financial Services and any relevant exclusions.

Can appointments take place remotely?

Yes. Telephone and video appointments are available across the UK, with daytime and evening appointments and weekends by arrangement.

When should I start a remortgage review?

Start early enough to understand your current deal, any early repayment charge and the time an alternative application may take. Rahul can plan the review around your actual deal-end date.

What documents might I need?

Common examples include identification, address evidence, bank statements, payslips or self-employed income documents. The exact list depends on your circumstances and lender.

Will using the calculator affect my credit record?

No. This website calculator provides an illustration and does not run a credit search.

Why discuss protection with a mortgage?

A mortgage is a long-term commitment. A protection review can consider how repayments and household costs might be managed if health, income or family circumstances change.
