re-mortgaging
Every so often it’s a good idea to take a fresh look at your mortgage. You want to make sure you’re not paying a higher rate of interest than you need to and if your circumstances have changed you may want to reconsider your re-payment strategy. Thinking about it? To get some further advice on how and why you should re-mortgage, take a look at our handy guides.
If you’ve got into a little bit of debt over the years, it might be possible to consolidate your debts into your mortgage through a re-mortgage. As interest rates are lower, this could save you a considerable amount of money and help you get out of debt sooner.

buy-to-let mortgages
Ready for a new venture? Getting a buy-to-let property is great way of generating extra monthly income and in the long run another income stream when you retire. Property investment isn’t easy or risk free, but if you get your figures right and do the research, you can make sensible decisions which will hopefully result in a profitable buy-to-let property.
With residential mortgages you are typically required to put down a 10% deposit, whereas with buy-to-let mortgages you need to put down between 20%-25% of the property value. There are also other costs to factor in too: stamp duty, tax, maintenance and management costs.
Now that you’re becoming a landlord, you are responsible for getting the right certification, insurance and paperwork in place, along with maintaining the condition of the property.
We know it’s a lot to take in! So to get you started, have a read through some of our handy guides:

Your Responsibilities As A Landlord
Remember…When assessing your affordability, lenders don’t just look at your income they look at the rental income your property will generate.
“I have added two properties to my small portfolio, arranged two low rate mortgages and have organised my finances and pension so I can retire sooner than I thought possible. All this and I only contacted you for a mortgage!”
the what-ifs
If you think your personal circumstances are different to most and that you might find it difficult get a mortgage, take a look at our ‘what-if’s’ and then have another think.
what if I’m self- employed?
No problem, if you can prove you have the necessary deposit and you can make the repayments on your loan. Lenders will look at your proof of earnings in the form of an SA302, some require 2 years of accounts some are okay with 1!
what if my credit score isn’t great?
It’s not necessarily your credit score you need to worry about but your credit report. Lenders will look at your credit history to identify any debt, missed or late payments to help indicate whether you are a reliable borrower. Even if your report does show a few blips, we have specialist lenders that will still accept your application so don’t worry. If you would like to review your credit we would recommend ‘CheckMyFile’
what if I live overseas?
So long as you’re a UK citizen, you can still get a mortgage even if you are living abroad.
what if I’m over 50?
Your term may be a little shorter and your monthly payments higher but of course we can get you a mortgage.
what if I don’t have a deposit?
Believe it or not you can get a mortgage without a deposit. A family member can help you get on the property ladder using their savings or equity in their property.
