Initial disclosure document

This page lays out the information you need to know before using our services, so you can decide if Habito is right for you.

Services we offer

We offer a few different services at Habito, from mortgage advice to help with home buying. Here's more about each one.

Whole of market mortgage advice

We search the whole market to find you the best mortgage, then do the paperwork for you and apply on your behalf. If the best mortgage for you is from a lender we don't work with, we’ll tell you how to get it directly.

Our mortgage advice is free and impartial. For every mortgage we complete, the lender pays us commission. We get paid the same commission by every lender, and our only incentive is to find you the best deal.

Direct mortgage advice

This is advice about one of Habito’s own mortgages – a mortgage where Habito is the lender. It’s different from whole of market advice, in that we’ll only advise you on the Habito mortgages you might be suitable for, not what’s available in the wider market.

Habito Plus

Habito Plus is our home-buying service. Once you’ve had an offer accepted, we handle the admin of buying on your behalf – the legal work, property survey and mortgage. It costs £2,500 excluding VAT on average (the fee depends on your property price).

Our FCA registration number is 714187. Here’s our listing on the FCA website.

Our trading address is WeWork, Moor Place, 1 Fore Street Avenue, London, EC2Y 9DT.
