Terms & conditions
The rules for using this website. Last updated September 2026.
Who we are
This website is operated by Mortgage Cost Comparison, a trading name of Abacus Mortgages Direct Ltd, directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (firm reference number 465465). You can contact us on 01244 571640 or at hello@mortgagecostcomparison.co.uk.
What this site is
This site introduces our mortgage comparison and advice service. The guides, articles and FAQs on it are general information for UK consumers. They are not personal advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation to take out, keep or switch any particular mortgage.
Personal advice is only given once you have spoken to an adviser, who will take the time to understand your circumstances before recommending anything.
Our calculators
The lending and affordability calculators are estimation tools. They use the figures you enter and standard formulas to give an indication of monthly payments or potential borrowing. They do not check your credit, they are not a mortgage offer or an agreement in principle, and they cannot account for lender-specific criteria, fees, insurance costs or your full financial position. A lender and an adviser confirm real figures.
Callback requests
When you submit a callback request you are asking us to contact you about your enquiry. There is no charge, no obligation and no impact on your credit score. We will use your details as described in our privacy policy. Please only submit your own details or the details of someone who has asked you to.
Accuracy of information
We work hard to keep the content on this site accurate and up to date, but rates, fees and lender criteria change frequently. Figures shown on this site are illustrative. Nothing here forms part of a contract.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss arising from use of this website or reliance on its general content, including decisions made before speaking to an adviser. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for advice given under our regulatory obligations, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Intellectual property
The content, design and branding of this site belong to Abacus Mortgages Direct Ltd. You may read, print and share pages for your own personal use. You may not republish or use them commercially without our written permission.
Links from this site
Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
Important notices
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
