We were recommended Karl by a friend and we're so glad we took their advice! From the very start right through to the end, Karl was incredibly efficient and supportive. He made buying our first home so much easier.

Your home/property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage. Not all Buy to Let Mortgages are regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority. As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. If you need more detail, we're just a phone call away.

Do I pay any fees for your service?
+
Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation. If we proceed to a full mortgage application, a £295 submission fee applies — payable only on success. Any fees for complex cases are always agreed upfront in writing. No hidden charges, ever.
Can you help if I've been declined elsewhere?
+
Absolutely — this is one of our specialisms. Being declined by a high street bank doesn't mean you can't get a mortgage. With whole-of-market access including specialist providers, we regularly help clients turned down elsewhere due to self-employment, adverse credit, or complex income structures.
How long does the mortgage process take?
+
A mortgage offer typically takes 2–6 weeks from full application, depending on the lender and your circumstances. We work quickly and accurately to avoid delays — submitting complete, well-prepared applications first time. We'll keep you fully updated throughout.
I'm self-employed — can you still help me?
+
Yes. Self-employed mortgages are one of our specialities. Whether you're a sole trader, limited company director, or contractor, we know which lenders are most flexible with self-employed income and exactly how to present your application for the best chance of approval.
What does 'whole of market' actually mean?
+
Unlike bank advisers who only offer their employer's products, we search the whole market — high street banks, building societies, and specialist lenders — to find the best deal for your specific situation. You get the best rate available to you, not just the best rate from one provider.
What is the Property Membership Guarantee?
+
When your current mortgage deal expires, we'll review the market and remortgage you again — completely free of charge. This is our commitment to a long-term client relationship. Many of our clients have used our service three or more times.
