How are mortgage brokers paid?
Mortgage brokers are typically paid a fee by the lender, known as the Procuration Fee. This fee is usually a percentage of the borrowed amount, often around 0.35% of the mortgage. For instance, if you borrow £250,000, the broker's fee in this example will be £875.
​
It's important to note that you, as the borrower, do not pay this fee directly. Instead, the lender compensates the broker, or at least a significant portion of it.
​
Additionally, some mortgage brokers may charge an additional fee, regardless of the loan amount. That's why it's crucial to do your research before choosing a broker. Here are a few instances where such fees may apply:
​
1. Upfront admin / application fee
2. Fee upon receiving your mortgage offer or completing the transaction
3. Possibly both!
