Why Go It Alone? The Pitfalls of DIY Mortgages
Many first-time buyers assume they can handle their mortgage application themselves. But without expert guidance, you could run into problems such as:
❌ Choosing the wrong lender – Some banks have strict criteria that you may not meet, leading to rejected applications.
❌ Overpaying – Without expert help, you might end up with a mortgage that costs more than necessary over the long term.
❌ Delays & mistakes – Incorrect paperwork or missing documents can slow things down, putting your dream home at risk.
❌ Misleading affordability assessments – Online calculators don’t always reflect what a lender will actually offer you.
With Optimus Mortgages, you avoid these pitfalls and get expert advice from start to finish, making the process smooth, simple, and stress-free.
