Why use a broker who’s fluent in your native language?
If your first language is Punjabi or Urdu, 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. With a broker who speaks Punjabi/Urdu on your side, you will have a firmer understanding of the process.
Empathy and understanding: Our mortgage brokers who speak Punjabi/Urdu aren’t just fluent in these languages, they are part of these communities, and therefore have a deep understanding of the needs of others who belong to them.
Bespoke deals: Due to having a firm understanding of the requirements of members of the Punjabi/Urdu, our mortgage brokers who belong to their communities can often arrange bespoke deals for clients that are tailored to their personal preferences.
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.
Services our multilingual mortgage brokers offer
Our mortgage brokers offer advice on the following products in multiple languages:
Will writing and estate planning
Other types of property finance
If you require specialist advice in areas such as commercial mortgages, we have advisers available for this and our multilingual brokers will liaise with them to help them support you.
How much their services cost
Our mortgage brokers won’t charge an extra fee to deliver their advice in Punjabi or Urdu and 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.
