Shabbir Patel is a Surrey mortgage broker helping home buyers, builders, and property investors from first purchases to commercial loans. Expect plain answers, honest advice, and one dedicated person handling your file from your first call to closing.
Because every file follows the same three steps, nothing gets overlooked. You are told early on where you stand, and your paperwork is in order before a lender asks for it, and the lender we choose already aligns with your goals and situation.
First, Shabbir Patel will have a casual discussion with you about how much money you make, how much you save and how much debt you have, as well as what your timeline is like, so as to not miss any important details later on.
Very different types of borrowers are accepted by prime, alternative and private lenders. Choosing the right one prior to application saves additional credit checks, delays and stress.
Before your paperwork is sent anywhere, it is scanned for missing information so your lender has a full, complete and easy-to-read file to approve.
Whether it's a first mortgage or a commercial refinance, our clients can expect the same service and quality. These four promises remain the same and you can concentrate on the property while Shabbir Patel chats to the lender.
Don't be met with promises, give you clear numbers: how much you can borrow, how much it will cost each month and what might change in between.
If one lender tips you off, you may find that another one says yes, so your alternatives are never only based on the guidelines of one bank.
You receive one clear checklist at the start, with a short note explaining exactly why each document matters.
You don't have to repeat yourself to someone you don't know when you have Shabbir Patel handling your file from hello to keys.
