Your one point of contact

During our mortgage process you’ll have one point of contact from start to finish.

Our underwriters consider your individual personal circumstances. That means we can take a sensible approach if you’re self-employed, a contractor, or if there’s another reason you might have difficulty getting a mortgage. The key is that we won’t lend more than you can comfortably repay.

FAQs

Can I get a buy-to-let mortgage if I don’t already own a home?

No, you need to be an owner-occupier to get a buy-to-let mortgage with us. We accept first-time landlords though.

How much deposit do I need?

It varies depending on what mortgage you have. Deposits start from a minimum of 25% of the purchase price.

How do you assess affordability?

We'll review your personal circumstances and carry out a credit check. We also take rental income into account. 

Is there a maximum age I can take my mortgage up to?

Yes, the maximum age you can be at end of your mortgage term is 85.

What’s the difference between a Fixed Rate mortgage and a Tracker mortgage?

Fixed Rate mortgages have an interest rate that’s set for a fixed period of time. Your payment will stay the same during this time, no matter what other interest rates do.

Tracker mortgages are a type of variable rate mortgage that follow (track) the movements of another rate, most commonly the Bank of England base rate.
