FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a Foundation Home Loans mortgage through Doulton?

Yes. We hold broker agencies with Foundation Home Loans where available and can access their intermediary product range. Where Foundation Home Loans is not the right fit, we will benchmark their offer against every other lender on our panel and recommend the most cost-effective overall deal.

Why apply to Foundation Home Loans via a broker rather than direct?

Most UK mortgage lenders reserve a portion of their range - often including their sharpest rates - for intermediary-introduced business. Going through a broker also means you are not locked to one lender's criteria: if Foundation Home Loans cannot take your case, we can place it elsewhere without a declined application showing on your credit file.

What LTV and loan size does Foundation Home Loans offer?

Foundation Home Loans's maximum LTV and loan size vary by product and property type. We check current criteria at the point of enquiry - residential, buy-to-let, high-value and specialist ranges each have their own limits. Tell us your requirement and we will come back with exactly what Foundation Home Loans can support today.

What if my application is complex - non-standard income, expat status, adverse credit?

Mainstream high-street lenders are rarely the right home for complex applications. We work with specialist, private and challenger banks alongside the names you will recognise, which means we can often place cases that would be rejected by a direct approach.

How long does a mortgage application take?

Typical timelines are 2-4 weeks from application to offer for straightforward cases, and 4-8 weeks for cases needing valuation, specialist underwriting or complex income review. Exchange and completion after that is driven by your conveyancer's pace.
