We Charge No Upfront Fees

Brilliant Value for Brilliant Advice

No fee is payable to us until we have secured your mortgage for you. We charge no upfront fees.

Save money on your mortgage and get the service you deserve by using an experienced mortgage expert giving you personal service. Not only will your adviser ensure you get the most appropriate product for your needs but they will guide you and support you throughout. We are truly independent mortgage specialists offering incredible service and with access to an incredible range of products.

We are confident in the value we offer which is why we publish our charges for all our services. Importantly, you can always pay our fees on completion of the mortgage so you only need to pay when our job is done.

What is a Product Transfer?
It is a switch from one product to another with your existing lender. It is usually a simple and fast-track process but it may not be the best product for your needs so always speak to a mortgage adviser before acting.

Our Service
We will ensure that your needs are independently assessed and that you avoid falling into a product with your existing lender that doesn’t meet your needs. If it is appropriate for you, we will ensure that process is as smooth as possible and that you get the peace of mind our advice gives you. This service offers great value.

Often available with no fee to pay
For many lenders and many scenarios this will result in a fees free advice service as we only charge a fee if the income we earn is under £500. In circumstances where we earn under £500, we will charge you a fee to make up the difference. This is incredible value for the service, support and peace of mind.

If any fee is payable, your adviser will be able to give you the exact sum, which will be based on your current lender and mortgage balance.

Our Services
Talk to one of our advisers or browse our website for the many reasons we offer great value across all forms of Residential and Buy to Let mortgages.

Standard Mortgages (Residential & Buy to Let )
For all mortgages that do not fit into any specialist category listed on this
page, we charge a fee of £695 which offers incredible value for the importance of selecting the right mortgage for your needs and for the service on offer.

Specialist Mortgages (Residential & Buy to Let)
These are more complex mortgages due to the nature of the UK mortgage market and are a core speciality of our business meaning that we offer incredible value for the service and solutions available. We charge £995 for our services for mortgages in this category, as defined below:

  • Adverse credit, i.e. 2 or more missed unsecured payments or defaults in 24 months; or
    Any of the following in the last 12m: CCJs, missed secured payments or pay day loans; or
    Any history of IVAs, Debt Management, Protected Trust Deeds, Bankruptcy or similar.
  • Complex income, e.g. self-employed under 3 years accounts or multiple incomes for any applicant
  • If the property is built with non-standard construction methods or materials, limiting choices.
  • Government or private home purchase schemes (e.g. Right to Buy, Shared Ownership & HTB)
  • Debt consolidation
  • Ex-PAT or Foreign Nationals
  • Lending beyond state retirement age
  • Regulated Buy to Let Mortgages, mortgages on HMOs or Multi-Unit Block Mortgages
  • Any mortgage that is over 90% of the value of the property
  • Interest only mortgages (residential only, this does not include buy to Let mortgages)

What is a Secured Loan
In addition to an existing mortgage on a property (a first charge) this is an additional mortgage (a second charge). You keep your existing mortgage and instead of borrowing more from your existing lender you are borrowing from another lender whilst keeping your existing mortgage. You are also securing the debt against your property so have the same risks as a standard mortgage. These can offer flexible solutions for raising funds and not all advisers are able to advise on these specialist loans.

Our Service
Unlike secured loan brokers, Brilliant Money will always assess all of your mortgage funding options, including standard remortgages and further advances so you will always be sure you are getting the best possible outcome for your needs. This fee represents incredible value for advice and support on a secured loan where fees are often significantly higher.

Our Fee
We charge a flat fee of £1,995 for any secured loan and this includes considering all other available refinance options, offering independent advice and great service; delivering real value.

What is a Commercial Mortgage? A mortgage for a business. This may include trading companies, property investment companies or may be for individuals with commercial or investment property. It includes semi-commercial property (part business and part residential) and may include Buy to Let Investment products depending on lender definitions. What is a Bridging Loan and what is Development Finance? It is a short-term loan often obtained where a typical long term mortgage is unavailable. Examples of typical uses include for property refurbishment projects, chain breaks or auction finance. Development Finance is a form of Bridging Loan specifically designed for developments, often including stages drawdowns. These are complex and often urgent mortgages that require genuine expertise. Our Service Unlike many advisers, Brilliant Money are specialist mortgage experts. We are members of the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers and support mortgage brokers and IFAs across the country with their commercial mortgage, bridging loan and development finance needs. If you go through another adviser there is a chance you will be referred to us for this specialist support so you are in safe hands and dealing with experts. Our Fee We charge a 1% fee with a minimum fee of £2,195. In the event that the mortgage is regulated by the FCA we cap the fee chargeable at £3,995.
