You must speak to them to undergo the qualification and affordability assessment to determine what share you are required to buy, but you don't have to do your full mortgage application through Metro Finance if you have your own financial advisor.There's no cost to you for this qualification/affordability assessment. However, if you decide to proceed with a full mortgage application; Metro will charge a fee of £449 upon completion of the mortgage which is a lifetime fee should you decide to re-mortgage/buy further shares in the future.
  • Please note the online chatbot on the Metro Finance website may give an indication on your affordability – however we need you to speak to Metro for an assessment.
