First-time buyer · Cambridge

A recent first-time-buyer couple working in central London but priced out of the city looked at properties across the south-east. With a 10% deposit and one variable bonus income, two high-street banks declined to offer. We placed the case with a lender comfortable with the bonus income and they completed within nine weeks of full application.

Remortgage · 5-year fix ending

A recent client coming off a 5-year fix received a product transfer offer from their existing lender at 5.4%. We compared the whole market and found a 4.6% fixed rate elsewhere with free legal and free valuation included. The switch saved approximately £180 per month.

Moving home · south-east

A recent client moving from a 3-bed to a 4-bed faced a complicated chain with a 6-week gap between sale and purchase. With a high existing rate and a substantial ERC, porting looked obvious — but modelling showed redeeming and remortgaging at current rates was £4,200 better over the fixed period.

Common questions

Everything you wanted to ask but didn’t.

How much does it cost to use a mortgage broker?

Our standard broker fee is paid only when your mortgage completes. For NHS staff and Blue Light Card holders, it’s free — every time. We’ll always tell you the fee upfront in writing before any work starts.

How do we work together — in person or remote?

However suits you. Most of our clients work with us entirely by phone, video call and email — wherever you are in the UK. If you’re local to Suffolk and prefer to meet in person, we can arrange that too.

Can you help if I’m self-employed or have a tricky case?

Absolutely. Self-employed, contractor, complex income, adverse credit — there are specialist lenders for almost every situation, and a big part of our job is knowing who to take which case to.

How early should I start before my fixed rate ends?

Six months out is the sweet spot. Most lenders let us reserve a rate that far ahead, so we can lock something in early and switch if rates drop.
