Our Environmental Impact

Core Areas

Large Mortgages

Our specialty lies in providing tailor-made mortgage solutions for loans over £1 million. Our success is underpinned by our established relationships with private banks, mainstream banks, and specialist lenders. We pride ourselves on our personalised approach, understanding our clients’ unique profiles to match them with the right financial institution.  Our longstanding industry connections often enable us to unlock exclusive deals that transcend typical lending criteria. Clients looking for an expert mortgage broker value our proficiency and dedication to securing the best loan terms.

Complex Mortgages

We thrive on sourcing unconventional mortgages, be it for non-standard property types, self-employment income, or foreign income sources. Mortgages are multifaceted, demanding a deep understanding of the market and strong banking relationships to secure the best deals. As a specialist in complex mortgages, we offer the expert knowledge and professional relationships essential to navigate these challenging scenarios. If there is a solution available for your complex mortgage needs, we will find it.

Commercial and Real Estate Finance

Our experience spans across a variety of asset classes and client types. From individuals looking to buy their trading premises to large organisations refinancing their commercial real estate portfolios.  We often engage multiple lenders simultaneously, presenting each deal with complete transparency.  As lenders are aware that they are in a competitive tendering process, we encourage the provision of the best possible rates. Our partners experience the difference that our client-centred approach makes in their commercial and real estate financing.

BTL Mortgages

Navigating the complexities of buy to let mortgages can be demanding, particularly when faced with portfolio landlord criteria or seeking financing for an HMO or multi-unit block. As regulations for BTL Mortgages become increasingly complex, it’s more important than ever to have an expert broker to guide you through the diverse criteria on stress tests, property types, and portfolio restrictions. We demystify the complexities of BTL mortgages. We specialise in securing portfolio loans from multiple lenders, resulting in lower rates and higher leveraging.

Mortgages for Business Owners

Business owners encounter distinct challenges when pursuing mortgages, including the need to substantiate income and demonstrate stability. Our tailored mortgage solutions reflect the unique income structures of business owners. Traditional lenders tend to calculate their loan offers based on historical dividends, potentially underestimating the business owner’s real income. By partnering with us, you can take advantage of our expertise in sourcing mortgages designed for business owners. We carefully assess your income, liaising with lenders who consider your profit share, the latest year’s profit, or pre-tax profits to maximise your borrowing potential.

Bridging and Development Finance

Sourcing the best bridging or development terms requires industry knowledge and expertise. Our team excels in sourcing deals for both non-experienced developers and seasoned professionals. We have access to low-rate bridging loans through strategic partnerships with building societies and private banks. Moreover, we specialise in arranging high-value self-build mortgages, ensuring that your financing needs are met throughout the entire development process. With our guidance, you can embark on your projects with confidence, secure in the knowledge that we will procure the most favourable rates and terms available.
