Banks Are One of Many Lenders

It’s natural to think that it will be easiest and straightforward to go directly to your bank. But in reality, it is often much easier to speak with a Mortgage Adviser, who has access to the mortgage market in its entirety. With the help of Platinum Mortgages, you will have the full market at your disposal, which could connect you with exclusive deals or specialist non bank lenders for more complex applications.

If your bank declined your application on the first go, don’t think that is the end of the story. The Financial Advisers at Platinum Mortgages have a wealth of experience in mortgage applications, especially the more complex ones. For more information about what to do when the bank said no, please visit our Bank Said No page. Alternatively, please contact us here and one of our Platinum Mortgages Advisers will contact you to discuss.
