Residential Mortgages

Residential Purchase
We can arrange a mortgage to enable you to purchase your new home.  If you are employed, self-employed, a contract worker or a company director, we have schemes to suit your situation. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Residential Remortgages
We can arrange a remortgage for your current home. We can simply find you a better rate or we can raise funds for you to improve your property or for any other legal purpose.
If you are currently on an interest only mortgage, we can find a competitive deal for you to switch to or find a deal to move you onto a repayment mortgage.
Second Charge Mortgages
If you are having difficulty borrowing extra funds secured against your property or you have a great fixed rate that you don't want to lose but need extra funding, we can arrange a second charge mortgage for you, with the lowest rates on the market. These funds could be for home improvements, to use as a deposit to buy another property or for any other legal purpose.

You pay a deposit of 5% of the purchase price of your new home at exchange of contracts and arrange a repayment mortgage of at least 25% of the purchase price of your new home.

You won’t be charged interest on the equity loan for the first 5 years. Interest fees start at 1.75% and rise each year in April by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) plus 2%. You pay a monthly management fee of £1 for the life of the equity loan.

An equity loan is secured against your property in the same way as a repayment mortgage. You must repay the equity loan when you sell the home, pay off your repayment mortgage or reach the end of your equity loan term. But, you can repay all or part of the equity loan any time before then
Shared Ownership
We can assist you to purchase or remortgage your shared ownership property. With Shared Ownership you buy part of the property & rent the rest of the property. If you already have a Shared Ownership property, we can help you to buy a larger share of the property or buy all of the property.
