Prepare questions for mortgage lenders or brokers. My situation in general terms (first-time buyer, deposit size range, employment type): [SITUATION]. What I want to understand: [UNDERSTANDING_GOALS].

Create a list of 25 questions grouped as rates and fees, product features, eligibility and documents, process and timing, early repayment and changes, and what happens if my circumstances change. Provide a comparison table to record answers from three lenders with the same questions. Include a glossary of ten terms in plain language. This is not financial advice: do not recommend products or lenders, and mark rules and costs [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Remind me to read official documents and consider independent advice before committing.

Also add a short script for the first call, a note on keeping a record of quotes with dates because rates change, and a reminder that credit checks may affect my file, so I should ask before consenting [VERIFY].

Offer education and arithmetic, not instructions to invest. Label any tax or law point [VERIFY], name the [JURISDICTION] it depends on, and suggest I confirm it with a licensed professional.
