Helping you take the next step on the property ladder

Purchasing a property is not merely just a case of buying bricks and mortar - it's also a statement that you are ready to make a mature financial commitment towards your future and make a home for yourself or your family.

It may be that you're looking to purchase a property, your current mortgage rate is coming to an end, you are looking to remortgage onto a better deal or release extra funds.

Our expert team are here to help you navigate the process.

Mortgage Types

We advise on a range of mortgage options to suit different needs, whether you're buying your first home, investing in property, or looking for flexibility in repayments.

Buy-to-let

A buy-to-let mortgage is for purchasing rental properties. The loan is secured against the property, and landlords use rental income to cover repayments.

Repayment

A repayment mortgage means you’ll pay back both the capital and interest over an agreed period. As long as you keep up repayments, your mortgage will be fully repaid at the end of the term.

Interest Only

An interest only mortgage allows you to pay just the interest charged each month for the term of the loan. You don’t have to repay the amount you’ve borrowed until the end of the term.

Flexible Mortgage

A flexible mortgage allows you to make overpayments, underpayments, or even take payment holidays. This can help you manage your finances and reduce interest by paying extra when possible.

Offset

An offset mortgage links your savings to your mortgage. Your savings reduce the interest charged but don’t repay the loan itself, helping you save on overall costs.

Fixed-Rate

A fixed-rate mortgage guarantees the same interest rate for a set period. This provides stability, as your monthly repayments won’t change during that time.

Standard Variable Rate

A standard variable rate (SVR) mortgage has an interest rate set by the lender, which can increase or decrease at any time, affecting your monthly repayments.

Capped Rate

A capped rate mortgage is a variable-rate loan with a maximum interest rate. This means your payments can go down but won’t rise above a set limit for a fixed period.

Discounted Variable Rate

This mortgage offers a temporary discount on the lender’s SVR, usually for two or three years. Your payments will still change if the SVR goes up or down.
