Buying a new home is exciting and one of the most significant purchases you will make, so we want you to enjoy the experience and be happy with your decision. If you are looking to purchase your first home, move to a new property, remortgage your existing home, or purchase a buy-to-let property, we are here to assist and make the process as stress-free and efficient as possible.
The first step is to obtain a decision in principle for you. This ensures you will be approved for a mortgage subject to further checks. We work from a comprehensive panel which is representative of the whole of the market, and a proven track record of acquiring mortgage approvals for the most complex of situations, we will then source the best possible mortgage deal to suit your individual needs and circumstances.
First-time buyers
Buying your very first property can be an incredibly daunting prospect. It’s hard to know where to start. That’s why we’re here to help and guide you through the entire process. We will provide tailored advice based on your current circumstances and future plans, ensuring that you are aware of all potential costs associated with buying and owning a property. We will then source the best mortgage deal to suit your budget, objectives, and repayment preferences.
Remortgage
A remortgage is used by existing home owners for a number of reasons. They may wish to move to a new home, switch to a better mortgage deal for their current property, consolidate debts, or increase their borrowing to carry out home improvements.
You can remortgage with the same lender or with a new mortgage lender. Many mortgage deals come with a discounted interest rate for the first few years. When these end, we will be back in touch to help you source a new deal that offers a lower APR or a new fixed-period discounted interest rate.
If you are thinking about remortgaging your existing home, there are a number of important factors that must be taken into consideration to ensure it is the right time to switch mortgages and the best decision for you and your family in the long run.
For example, will the mortgage lender charge valuation and solicitor fees? Will your final repayment be higher or over a different period of time? Will you have to pay an early repayment charge on your current mortgage? These are the types of considerations we will look at carefully to ensure you get the very best mortgage deal.
Debt consolidation is not always the most suitable option, consolidating debts must be carefully considered. It will usually mean more interest over a longer repayment term and there may also be early repayment penalties on your current mortgage, you should think carefully before securing other debts against your home. There are other ways to manage debt such as free debt advice charities, you can find out more by contacting the Money Advice Service these services may be more suitable for you.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.Buy-to-let

Mortgage Protection Cover
If you’re in good health, it’s all too easy to think you’ll never need Life, Critical Illness Cover and Income Protection. Have you ever thought about what would happen to your home and your family if your mortgage could not be paid because one of you died, became seriously ill or lost your job?
Would you like the peace of mind that you and your family would be safe in your home should something go wrong? Mortgage Protection Cover can be relatively inexpensive and can be set up to protect you and your family against losing your home in the event of a death, a critical illness, unemployment or ill health. Are the most valuable things in your home protected – YOU?
Family Protection Life Cover
Have you considered what would happen financially to your family and dependants if you died? Even if the mortgage has been repaid, is this really enough? Could they afford to maintain their lifestyle and standard of living? How much would you pay to know your family is protected? For a small cost family protection can be set up to provide either a cash lump sum or a regular monthly income to ensure that your loved ones do not experience a rapid financial decline if you were no longer there to take care of them.
Critical Illness Cover
You probably have life assurance for when you die but what insurance do you have in case you live? We’ve all heard the true and shocking statistics that 1 in 2 people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime*. How would you manage financially if you suffered a critical illness? Cover can be put in place to provide you with either a lump sum or an income to protect your home and financial well being.
Only some forms of cancer, heart attack and stroke are covered in critical illness policies.
