I just re-mortgaged - got a reference for nothing from my accountant.
Find yourself a new accountants - the % fee is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

We only charge if any actual work needs doing, i.e. if the mortgage broker wants forecasts or interim accounts. We don't charge for a simple confirmation of income based on accounts/tax returns already prepared.

Interested to know who the accountant is incase anyone asks.
It would be interesting how they justify the cost relative to the property value as surely there won’t be liability (or more work) on their part.

0.1%!???!! You need a new accountant. That’s very cheeky and wouldn’t surprise me if they were over inflating over services

Accountants reference fee for mortgage
Hi,
I just wondered what people were paying for an accountants reference for mortgage applications. Last time I bought a property (2015), my accountant charged me £50+vat, just in the process of purchasing again and it's gone up to £125 or 0.1% of the purchase price (plus VAT), whichever is higher.
I can understand a small increase due to a couple of years passing since the last purchase, but I can't understand the % of the purchase price. I haven't seen a reference, as they are requested directly from the bank, but would think it is the same whether you are buying a £50k property or a £500k one?Tags: None
