Buy to let

Building a property portfolio can be quite tricky at the best of times. Lenders base loans on rental income and credit history, rather than your personal income, and so things aren't as straightforward as when moving home. Whether you have an existing portfolio you'd like to re-mortgage or you want to take your first steps, we're can offer impartial, jargon-free advice, and the right buy-to-let mortgage to meet your ambitions.Some buy to let Mortgages are not regulated by the financial conduct authority

There are a number of different schemes available for buying your first home, moving up the housing ladder, or returning to home ownership. Whether you have a deposit or don't yet have any savings, we can help explore the options with you. We specialise in Shared Ownership mortgages in particular, which help provide a stepping stone from Generation Rent to owning your own place.

Self-Employed Buyers

Whether you're working in the gig-economy or run your own company, you’ve no doubt heard about it being more difficult for freelancers to get a mortgage. But with access to the whole of mortgage market, we know there are many lenders who take a more enlightened approach. Proving your income can be a bit trickier than for salaried employees, but we can walk you through the process, and help you understand the lending criteria most banks and building societies use.

Commercial

Commercial mortgages are a different kettle of fish from residential mortgages, with lenders requiring different information when making a decision on what to lend. Interest rates and arrangement fees are often higher than in the consumer market, so it's always important to speak to a range of lenders as there's a significant variance in how they view commercial properties. Commercial mortgage advice is offered by referral only.

Bridging Loans

Bridging loans can prove to be expensive but have their place in the housing market as a short-term fix, depending on your needs. If you are struggling to sell your existing property but have found the home of your dreams and would like to secure the property, then we are able to refer you to a master mortgage broker.
