Mortgage & protection questions

Questions About Mortgage And Protection Advice

Every client’s circumstances are different. These answers explain how Conrad Financial Services provides mortgage and protection advice, where appointments are available and what you can expect when you get in touch.

Where Is Conrad Financial Services Based And Which Areas Do You Cover?

Conrad Financial Services is based in Parkstone, Poole and advises clients across England and Wales by telephone or video. Clients do not attend the Parkstone office. Instead, advisers can travel to clients by arrangement, normally within around two hours’ drive of Poole. Please ask when booking whether a visit is available at your location.

Does My Mortgage Adviser Need To Be Based Near Me?

Not necessarily. Telephone and video appointments allow Conrad Financial Services to advise clients across England and Wales. The suitability and availability of any mortgage will depend on your circumstances, the property and the lender’s assessment, not simply the distance between you and your adviser.

Does The Location Of A Property Affect Which Mortgages May Be Available?

It can. Lenders may consider the property’s location, type, construction, condition and intended use alongside your income, deposit or equity, commitments and credit history. Conrad Financial Services can only recommend a suitable mortgage after assessing your circumstances. Every application remains subject to the lender’s criteria and approval.

Can Conrad Financial Services Help Self-Employed Clients, Contractors And Company Directors?

Potentially, yes. Lenders assess income differently depending on whether you are self-employed, work under a contract or receive income through a limited company. Relevant considerations may include your trading history, accounts, tax calculations, contract terms, salary and dividends. A recommendation can only be made after your individual circumstances have been assessed.

Can I Discuss Protection Alongside My Mortgage?

Yes. Conrad Financial Services can help you consider protection alongside your mortgage plans. The type and amount of cover that may be suitable will depend on your needs, priorities, budget and circumstances. Any application will also be subject to the insurer’s terms, underwriting and acceptance.

What Types Of Protection Can Conrad Financial Services Advise On?

Conrad Financial Services can advise on life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, family income benefit, mortgage payment protection insurance and accident, sickness and unemployment cover. These products work in different ways, may contain exclusions and may not be suitable for every client. Any recommendation will follow an assessment of your needs and circumstances.

How Much Does Mortgage Advice From Conrad Financial Services Cost?

The initial conversation is free. Conrad Financial Services charges a non-refundable mortgage fee of £500, payable on application. The service and relevant fee will be explained before you decide whether to proceed.

What Happens During An Initial Conversation?

Conrad Financial Services will ask about what you are hoping to achieve and discuss your broad income, deposit or equity, existing commitments, protection priorities and property plans. The conversation helps establish the next steps; it is not a mortgage offer, a personalised recommendation or a guarantee that borrowing or insurance will be available.
