About us

Mortgage journey

We’ll embark on this journey together

Finding the right home is an exciting journey, and we’ve guided hundreds of people through the process. Now, we’re here to help you too. Before we get started, let’s take a moment to break down how the mortgage process works.

How your journey will work

Your experience with C D Financial is more than just a one-off service. It’s a long-term commitment that adapts as your property needs evolve.

Getting to know you
Research your options
Mortgage application
Supporting you to completion
Ongoing mortgage reviews

01

Getting to know you

The first thing we’ll do is sit down and talk about your goals, discuss why you’ve come to us and help you understand your position. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have been through the process before, this no-obligation meeting held at our expense is a crucial part of the process.

02

Research your options

Once you confirm you're happy to proceed, we’ll begin the process of researching your options, helping you to understand what you can afford to borrow, what funds you will need for your deposit and purchase fees, then look to secure your mortgage in principle.

03

Mortgage application

Once you are ready to proceed with your mortgage, we’ll carefully search the market to find the right mortgage options. We’ll then provide you with details about the lender and how much you can borrow. When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll take care of the rest, handling the application process on your behalf.

04

Supporting you to completion

We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, providing regular updates, we will liaise with your estate agents and solicitor throughout the process. We’ll let you know when the lender has completed the property survey and issued the mortgage offer. We’ll also take the time to discuss options for protecting you and your property, ensuring you’re fully covered.

05

Ongoing mortgage reviews

We’ll proactively reach out when it’s time to review your mortgage. Whether it’s adjusting to changes in your financial situation, refinancing options, or ensuring you’re still on the best deal, we ensure your mortgage remains in line with your evolving needs.

Pensions and Investments are a minefield but with the help and guidance from Claire at CD Financial Ltd I feel safe knowing my future is being looked after. Claire explained everything clearly and answered any questions I had. I look forward to working with the Team at CD Financial and would highly recommend them. Thanks again CD Financial!

We were out of our depth when looking for advice with a mortgage for our first time purchase CD came up in some google searches and reviews and we made contact. We have had two meetings now with Leanne, emails and questions in between and she has supported us and put us at ease throughout the process and I know that if I have any more financial questions or queries she will always be there to help can’t recommend enough!

Great service from CD financial, Claire and her team took the stress out of the daunting process of organising our first mortgage and even managed to secure us a better rate before we competed on our first home. 5 stars!

A friend recommended CD financial to me and my partner and we were so happy she did! Leanne, Ruth and the team were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing our first home. No question was ever stupid to them, they would answer emails so quickly and were always happy to discuss things over the phone as well. They made the whole process stress free. I would highly recommend and we will definitely come back to them for advise and help in the future! Thank you CD Financial!

Start by saying thank you CD Financial in helping to arrange my mortgage to a new provider! Claire, Ruth and Amy have been absolute gems getting the mortgage over the line during a period of rate rises and banks cancelling offers... Claire secured the best rate before the BoE rate rises to manage inflation. The team then supported me and followed up with the appointed solicitors right the way through the process, which removed so much stress. CD Financial definitely gets a 10/10 score from me.

We can’t recommend Claire and her team highly enough. She has provided outstanding mortgage and investment advice over the last few years and always takes the time to listen to your needs before providing a tailored solution. We wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.
