The Bank of England **Bank Rate** is one input to mortgage pricing; see the **Bank base rate** page on this site for the figure we publish. The deal you are offered still depends on **deposit**, **term**, **fixed vs variable**, and **affordability stress tests** — not any single headline rate.

Local Expertise

Sold prices cluster around **£189,448**, so lenders may see **lower loan sizes** and different stress-test outcomes than in London-weighted headlines.

On the ground, a good adviser spots **survey quirks**, **lease issues**, and **lender overlays** that postcode-level stats miss.

Most offer a **no-obligation first call** so you can sense-check strategy before paying anything.

Process Guidance

- **Shortlist** two or three firms from the list above that match your situation (**Preston** is already filtered for you).
- **Read** profiles for fees, specialisms, and how they prefer to work (phone, video, face-to-face).
- **Book a first call** — use it to test clarity and responsiveness, not just the rate quote.
- **Agreement in Principle (AIP)** — when you are ready, your broker can run this so offers carry more weight with agents and vendors.
