Why Nesto
Why use an independent Mortgage Broker?
Banks and building societies only show you their own products. An independent mortgage broker has access to the entire market — including exclusive deals you'll never find on a comparison website. They analyse your income, credit history, and outgoings to find a deal that actually fits your life, not just the one that pays them the highest commission. With property being the biggest purchase most people ever make, using a whole-of-market broker isn't just smart — it's essential.
🔍
Whole of market
Access to 12,000+ mortgage products across all UK lenders, including exclusive broker-only deals unavailable directly.
✅
FCA regulated
Every adviser is fully authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. You're protected by the Financial Ombudsman Service.
💰
Could save thousands
The right broker doesn't just find a lower rate — they structure your mortgage to minimise total interest paid.
⚡
Faster approvals
Experienced brokers know exactly which lenders will approve your profile, cutting weeks off the process.

Frequently asked questions about Mortgage Brokers
You can go direct, but you'll only see that lender's products. A whole-of-market broker searches thousands of deals and often finds rates unavailable direct. For most people, using a broker saves money and time.
Nesto's matching service is 100% free. Broker fees vary — many receive commission from the lender and charge you nothing. Others charge a flat fee (typically £300–£500). Your broker must disclose all fees upfront.
A mortgage in principle (MIP) can usually be obtained within 24–48 hours. Full mortgage offers typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the lender and your circumstances.
An initial broker consultation won't affect your score. A full mortgage application involves a hard credit search, but brokers submit to lenders they know will approve you — reducing unnecessary searches.
Yes. This is where brokers earn their fees. They know specialist lenders who consider applicants declined by high street banks — including those with complex income or credit issues.
Typically: 3 months' payslips or 2 years' accounts (self-employed), 3 months' bank statements, photo ID, proof of address, and details of any existing credit commitments.
Nesto matches you with qualified, FCA-regulated brokers based on your specific needs. All brokers on our panel are independently verified. You can also check credentials on the FCA register.
The terms are often used interchangeably. Brokers search for products; advisers provide regulated advice. Most offer both. Always confirm your broker is FCA-authorised and provides full advice, not just information.
Yes. Self-employed applicants need specialist advice — income assessment is more complex. Brokers who specialise in complex income can access lenders who use net profit, day rate, or SA302 figures.
Either through procuration fees from the lender (typically 0.35–0.4% of the mortgage), a fixed fee from you, or both. All remuneration must be disclosed before you apply.
Almost always yes. Remortgaging without a broker means you're likely to roll onto your lender's SVR. A broker finds better rates fast — the potential saving usually dwarfs any fee within months.
A good broker will have anticipated this risk and avoided submitting to lenders unlikely to accept you. If refused, they'll review the reasons and recommend alternative lenders — without damaging your credit further.
A whole-of-market broker has access to products from across the entire mortgage market — not just a panel of selected lenders. This means they can compare deals from banks, building societies, and specialist lenders to find the best fit for you, including exclusive deals not available direct to consumers.
For most people, a broker wins every time. Going direct means you only see one lender's products. A broker searches hundreds of deals in minutes, knows which lenders accept your profile, and handles the entire application. The time saved and deals found typically far outweigh any broker fee.
Yes — 95% LTV mortgages are available, particularly under the government's mortgage guarantee scheme. A specialist broker can identify which lenders currently offer 5% deposit products and whether you qualify based on your income, credit score, and property type.
