Senior Mortgage & Protection Adviser
Applying for a mortgage in the UK can be daunting if English is not your main spoken language, but don’t worry, the multi-lingual team at Echo Finance can help.
Our brokerage is home to advisers who are fluent in multiple languages, including French, so if you would prefer to converse with french speaking mortgage brokers, we’ll put you in touch with one of them.
How to find a French speaking mortgage broker
At Echo Finance, there are mortgage brokers on our team who are fluent in French, as well as a range of other languages. We can put you in touch with whoever speaks your preferred language, simply make an enquiry with us and specify which language you’d prefer your application to be completed in.
We will match you with a broker who speaks French and you will then be offered a free, no-obligation chat with them.
Who are your Multi-lingual advisers?
Several members of our adviser network are fluent in other languages and specialise in arranging UK mortgages for people whose first language isn’t English.
For example:
Hassan Khansa: A London-based French speaking Senior Mortgage and Protection broker, who is also fluent in Arabic. While based in London, Hassan can help clients across the UK with their mortgage and protection needs. He has 22 years of experience in the profession, and can offer compliant guidance across residential, buy-to-let, commercial, and development/project finance
We also have a range of brokers who speak Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Gujerati, Greek, Italian and more. Check out our broker directory to see if we have a broker who speaks your preferred language.
Why use a broker who’s fluent in your native language?
If your first language is French, there are many benefits to using a broker fluent in that tongue when applying for a mortgage. The main advantages include:
Clarity: The mortgage process can be complex so important details can get lost in translation if it isn’t carried out in your native language. Speaking to a mortgage broker in French will give you a firmer understanding of the process, and how we can best help you
Saves you time: You will likely navigate the mortgage process much faster with a broker who speaks your language on your side. There will be no language barrier when completing your paperwork and consulting with your mortgage lender.
Connections: A French speaking mortgage broker will typically be able to recommend suitable contacts who can offer you other mortgage-related services in French. For example, French speaking solicitors, surveyors and estate agents. If you are not confident in English, it can be comforting to know that the whole property purchasing process can be completed in your first language
Services our multilingual mortgage brokers offer
Our mortgage brokers offer advice on the following products in multiple languages, including French:
Will writing and estate planning
Other types of property finance
If you require specialist advice in areas that our multilingual advisers are not able to cover, we have qualified English advisers available who will liaise with them to help them support you in your prefered language.
How much their services cost
Our mortgage brokers won’t charge an extra fee to deliver their advice in French, or any other language of your preference. Your first consultation with them will be free with no obligation to proceed.
During that initial chat, your broker will break down exactly how much their services will cost if you choose to go ahead. You won’t be charged anything upfront, but will be billed for a broker fee at the end of the mortgage process, based on a small percentage of the loan.
The exact percentage you will be charged will depend on the complexity of the deal. For instance, if you have bad credit or complex income, your broker fee may be higher, but the language you choose to take advice in will not impact the cost.
