What is a Mortgage Stress Test?

3 days ago

A mortgage ‘stress test’ revolves around predicting future ‘affordability’. It is seen by many borrowers as just another hurdle to overcome, but it’s important to understand why it was introduced and who it is meant to protect.

What we did in 2025

What people are saying...

Excellent service throughout my mortgage application. Joel and Georgia have both been extremely helpful, professional and responsive from start to finish.

Joel especially went above and beyond when there was an issue getting the mortgage offer through to my solicitor. He kept chasing Skipton and communicating with the solicitor until everything was resolved. Georgia was also very helpful throughout the application process and kept everything moving smoothly.

I really appreciate all the support from both of them and would definitely recommend their service. Thank you Joel and Georgia!

I have used Mortgage Required on more than one occasion and the service provided was excellent that I went back to them again this year. Anna Mather, the mortgage advisor was always available to answer any questions and always returned calls and provided excellent advise. In addition, Joel Mow, case handler was always available to answer questions and follow up with the providers help conclude the deals as well as Dani with his support when needed. I have also recommended the company to family and friends.

Highly recommended. I haven't used a mortgage advisor before as I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but honestly, I would never take another mortgage without the support of these guys. I was so impressed, both Sachin and Craig gave a first class service, thank you so much for all your help and valuable advice!
