The mortgage businesses helping to secure the best deal

So, after hours and hours of research and property viewings, you’ve finally found it. You’ve found your dream home.

But before you start getting exciting and submitting offers, it’s all action stations to find the right mortgage that will help you pay for your dream home.

In the past, applying for a mortgage could be a bit of a minefield of a process. To begin with you’d have to spend considerable amounts of time trawling the internet or calling up lenders to find the best mortgage deal for you. Then you’d have to call up and book an appointment to visit your local branch or meet with a broker, all whilst you sit frantically hoping your dream property doesn’t get scooped up by a faster bidder.

As the property market has grown, so has the technology and services offering solutions to the mortgage selection service. There are now a cluster of innovative online-based mortgage companies that are ready to give you a quote in a matter of minutes and provide a smoother user experience.

Here are five of our favourite mortgage start-ups you should check out.
