Mortgages
First-Time Buyers
Are you a first-time buyer, trying to find the right mortgage?
Getting yourself onto the property ladder can be a challenging time. You’ve probably been working hard for a year or two, saving up for a deposit, and now you’re almost ready to start. But with so much to consider, and with so many views from friends and family it can all begin to feel a bit overwhelming. But don’t worry, because help is at hand.
With years of experience of helping first time buyers, we will aim to simplify the whole process for you:
• We will listen to what you need, and will guide you through the initial steps.
• Discussing all the different types of mortgage options available, and identifying the products that are suited to your individual needs.
• Checking your income and outgoings to work out how much you can comfortably afford to borrow now, and how you’ll manage in the future if there’s a change in circumstances or if mortgage costs increase.
• And above all, supporting you throughout your entire homebuying process.
Estate Agents like to see that you are serious about buying a property so an “Agreement in Principle” from a mortgage lender, shows that your mortgage is provisionally approved.
When you have found your dream home you know that we can process your application swiftly and efficiently.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Home Movers
Moving home can be one of the most stressful experiences in your life, so why would you want to add "sorting your mortgage" to your to do list?
Whether you’re relocating, upsizing or downsizing, we aim to remove the hassle and take care of most of the paperwork for you. Our service includes:
-
A first meeting to help you work out the costs of moving, calculating how much you need to borrow and how much you need to keep back for costs and fees.
-
Comparing the advantages of staying with your current lender, with the rates and deals available from other banks.
-
Choosing the most suitable option by either “porting" your existing mortgage to the new property or recommending a new mortgage product.
As an existing homeowner, there is probably a much wider choice of lenders and rates available to you now than you had as a first-time buyer, thanks to factors like having a better credit score, or a much larger deposit.
We can search thousands of options across the market ensuring you get the most suitable product for your circumstances. Our advice is completely free, and our aim is just to help make your move straightforward and as effortless as possible.

Self employed
Whether you are a sole trader, a subcontractor, working in a partnership, or are a director of a limited company, self-employed mortgages have become far more complex over recent years
Many lenders now require increased documentation from you and your accountant to prove your income. And since the pandemic, a large number of lenders have also increased the minimum deposit for self-employed customers, compared to deposits required for employed workers.
However, we can help explore the choices available, to ensure you can access to the most suitable products and options available for you. Our expert advice is completely free, so why not give us a call to see how we can help.
