We've partnered with Mortgage Advice Bureau so you can access mortgage advice easily in our app. Their advisers will help find you the right mortgage from over 90 different lenders and more than 12,000 deals, some of which you wouldn't get on the high street. Sit back, relax and let them do the work. It's just another way we help make managing money that bit easier. Terms and conditions apply.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. The fee is up to 1.00% but a typical fee is 0.30% of the amount borrowed.
