What appointments typically cost

What shapes the final fee

  • Number of applicants and whether income is salaried, variable, or self-employed
  • Whether we are advising on a purchase, a remortgage, or both in one window
  • Travel to a home visit outside St. Bauch (quoted separately if requested)
  • Follow-up work beyond the included summary and, where stated, check-in call

Payment

We invoice after the appointment is confirmed. A deposit may be requested for weekend slots. There is no checkout on this site — fees are discussed and confirmed by email or phone. Lender product fees, valuation, and solicitor costs are separate and paid to those parties.

Fee questions

Do you charge a percentage of the loan?

No. Marlowe charges a consultation fee agreed in advance. If a lender pays a procuration fee on a case we submit, we will explain how that interacts with your invoice before you instruct us to proceed.

Can the protection review be free?

When booked with a mortgage appointment, the protection cover review is complimentary. As a standalone session it is £95.

What if we decide not to proceed with a lender?

You still pay for the advice time already delivered. You are never obliged to submit an application after a consultation.
