Frequently asked questions
How important is the knowledge and experience test?
Very important. If you don’t pass the knowledge and experience test, you can’t take the Mortgage Self-Service option. The knowledge and experience test allows us to assess whether or not you truly know everything you need to know about mortgages and the conditions to be able to make a responsible choice.
What is ‘execution only’?
‘Execution only’ is another term for Mortgage Self-Service, i.e. it means that you take out your mortgage yourself, without the assistance of a mortgage adviser.
Are the fees for Mortgage Self-Service tax-deductible?
Yes, they are. All fees you pay in taking out a mortgage are tax-deductible on your income tax return. This includes mortgage advice fees, but also the handling fee you pay for Mortgage Self-Service. Include these fees on your income tax return for the year in which you took out the mortgage.
How do I get in touch with my mortgage coach?
The mortgage coach will go over your application with you in a video call. If you have any questions after that, or you want to make any changes to your application, you can always give your mortgage coach a call using the contact details provided after the first video call.
What is the services document?
In a services document, we explain what you can expect from us when you take out a mortgage with us, for example. It also sets out what we expect from you, and it details where to go with questions or complaints.
