Is it easier to get a mortgage through a mortgage broker?

The answer depends on your situation. If you have a lot of debt, are new to borrowing, or have a poor credit rating, you’re more likely to get a mortgage through a broker rather than a bank.

Do mortgage brokers charge a fee?

No. You won’t have to pay to use the services of a mortgage brker. They are paid by lenders who want the broker to bring in more customers.
