Independent Mortgage Consultancy

Steven Knapp has considerable experience in mortgage and protection advice and has been advising clients since 2013.

The reality of property ownership is that buying or selling a home, or remortgaging a property is not as straight forward as it sounds.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, moving home, looking to remortgage, wanting to draw out some equity, starting or expanding your buy-to-let portfolio, the mortgage market can be an overwhelming place. In times of fluctuating interest rates, regularly changing lender criteria and lending limits, it’s important you feel like you’re making the right choices from the beginning.

This is why you need a broker that will support you from the very first conversation and all the way through to achieving your purchase or remortgage. We are dedicated to making sure you are as stress free, informed and involved in the whole as possible.

Why Choose Us?

It’s important to use a knowledgeable, dependable and experienced advisor.

A mortgage isn’t defined by its interest rate. In fact, this is only one part, albeit an important one when choosing the right mortgage.

I have a decade’s worth of experience within the mortgage and protection field. This is important because it’s this type of experience that allows me to provide the right support for you, and to provide the confidence to the people involved in the process that you are the right person for the mortgage/property you want.

At Knapp Mortgage Consultancy, we provide a one-to-one service. This is a core fundamental for us as this means a dedicated point of contact throughout your mortgage journey. We will carry this relationship forwards for all your mortgage needs in the future.

The Process

With minimal stress and maximum convenience for our clients, we can deliver our flexible service in person, at your home, or remotely to fit around your busy lives.

We will get you prepared for the path ahead – this includes but isn’t limited to:

  • Fully understanding you, your circumstances and your needs
  • What type of property you might be considering
  • Explaining how a mortgage works and the choices you have
  • The time frames
  • The mortgage agreement in principal
  • Advice on negotiating a sale and purchase
  • Mortgage submission
  • The mortgage offer
  • Discussing your insurance requirements and needs
  • What type of 3rd party services are available
  • Breaking down and understanding the costs involved
  • Understanding and overcoming any challenges along the way

We provide non-investment protection products from a range of providers as part of the service. Understanding your mortgage needs comes with a responsibility to ensure you can support your lifestyle and outgoings in the event of a “life event”.

A life event could be considered as:

  • Being unable to work through accident or sickness
  • A critical illness
  • Diagnosis of a terminal illness
  • Passing away
