Mortgages

Pangea Mortgages provides advice on and arranges mortgage products on a limited analysis of the market with the lenders we have agencies with. Pangea Mortgages collects information from you before we can offer any advice on mortgages. This is due to the fact that a key issue in relation to mortgage advice is affordability. Such information should be produced promptly upon our request. Where the creditor is unable to carry out an assessment of creditworthiness because the consumer chooses not to provide the information or verification necessary for an assessment of creditworthiness, the credit cannot be granted.

Disclosure of information

We act as your representative to the companies we have agencies with and we will provide assistance to you for any queries you may have in relation to the policies or in the event of a claim during the life of the policies and we will explain to you the various restrictions, conditions and exclusions attached to your policy. However, it is your responsibility to read the policy documents, literature and brochures to ensure that you understand the nature of the policy cover.

You are under a duty to answer all questions posed by the lenders or ourselves on your behalf, honestly and with reasonable care.

You must inform and disclose any material information including any material changes that might take place between the time you complete an application form and the time you drawdown your mortgage.
