Our standard fee of £495 may be charged upon receipt of the mortgage offer.

Specialist Mortgages.

Our standard fee of £995.00 may be charged upon receipt of the mortgage offer.

Second charges, adverse credit, and referral applications

A fee of 2.5% may be charged upon receipt of the mortgage offer. For example, if you were to borrow £100,000, our fee would be £2500 (capped £2995)

Bridging / Commercial Mortgages

A fee of 2.5% may be charged upon receipt of the mortgage offer. For example, if you were to borrow £100,000, our fee would be £1,000.

If you have chosen to pay this fee upfront, then you will need to make payment at completion of your
mortgage. If you have chosen to add this to your mortgage it will be incorporated within the monthly
repayment and interest will be charged on it. The amount of the broker fee will be contained in the
European Standardised Information Sheet (‘ESIS’) and the Mortgage Agreement, which will be sent to you
before you make a decision on whether to proceed. We may also receive a commission from the lender for
introducing you to them. Any commission is paid directly to us by the lender and does not alter the terms
described in your Mortgage Agreement. Where you were introduced to us by a third party, we may pay a
commission to the third party that introduced your details to us, but this won’t cost you anything extra. We
do not charge a fee for providing advice.

The Mortgage Offer

Your mortgage offer will be set out in your Mortgage Agreement and is based on you providing accurate
and complete information. Changes to any of the information provided, including the valuation report,
could alter the mortgage offered.
You will also receive an ESIS that shows the key features of the mortgage being offered to you, including the
term, interest rate, repayments and total amount payable as well as details of the lender. The ESIS is an
important document and you need to read its contents carefully.

Cancellation Rights

Once completed, a mortgage cannot be cancelled. However, you can cancel at any point up to completion
and you will have sufficient time to consider your decision. There will be no charge payable by you where
you cancel your application before completion.

Arrears/Missing Payments

It is important to maintain repayments on your mortgage, on time and in full. The consequences of missing
payments or underpaying are explained in the Mortgage Agreement and can include default charges and, in
extreme circumstances, repossession of your property. This can also affect your credit rating and your
ability to obtain credit in the future.

Risk Warnings

You may be using your mortgage to pay off other debts, including some unsecured credit. The repayments
on your new loan may be lower than the combined monthly repayments on your other debts, but over a
longer term you could end up paying more interest overall. Think carefully before securing a loan against
your home. It is important to note the difference between secured and unsecured credit; your home may
be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a secured loan.
We do not give advice on or arrange insurance products. You will still have to pay your loan if you lose your
job or if illness prevents you working. You should consider the affordability of your loan if your income falls
and protecting yourself against unforeseen circumstances.
Please be aware that your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage.

If you wish to register a complaint, please contact us in writing at Dot Broker Limited, 16 Well St, Porthcawl CF36 3BE, or by telephone on 01656 644 335

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Our mortgage advice service is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which means
you may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. Further
information on the scheme can be found at www.fscs.org.uk.

consider the implications of entering into the Mortgage Agreement. Please feel free to contact us with
any questions you may have in this time. As soon as you decide to proceed, you should sign and return
the Mortgage Agreement to us.
