Who we help
Family-run mortgage and protection advice in Sleaford, serving all of Lincolnshire. Whatever stage you are at, here is how we help.
We help you turn a deposit and a salary into your first set of keys: agreements in principle, affordability, 5% and low-deposit mortgages, gifted-deposit arrangements, and mortgages that work alongside the main first-time buyer schemes, including Shared Ownership, the First Homes scheme and the government Mortgage Guarantee Scheme. We can also point you to savings boosts such as the Lifetime ISA.
Moving up, down or across, we work out whether to port your existing mortgage or arrange a new deal, including let-to-buy if you are keeping your current home, and manage the mortgage side of the move around your dates.
If your fixed rate is ending, we compare the whole market for remortgages and product transfers, including raising funds for home improvements or debt consolidation, with no fee on a like-for-like rate switch.
From a first rental to a growing portfolio, we arrange buy-to-let and let-to-buy mortgages, with up-to-date lender criteria and whole-of-market choice.
We arrange mortgages that recognise your real income, working with lenders who understand accounts, dividends, retained profit and day-rate contract work, sometimes from just one year’s figures.
We help serving personnel use the Forces Help to Buy scheme, and support NHS staff, teachers and other key workers, with a reduced fee for those who serve.
We keep the home you have worked for yours, arranging life insurance, decreasing mortgage cover, income protection, critical illness cover and buildings and contents insurance to suit your circumstances.
For homeowners aged 55 and over, we advise on retirement interest-only (RIO) and later-life mortgages, and equity release by referral, so you can use the value in your home with the right protections in place.
We also help with new-build purchases, Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgages, gifted-deposit arrangements, and more complex or adverse-credit cases.
