Mortgage Advice

We can introduce you to trusted, independent mortgage advisors who specialise in helping international buyers and UK residents secure the right mortgage for their circumstances.

Options

Types of Mortgages

Understanding the different mortgage options available will help you make an informed decision. Here are the most common types.

Fixed Rate Mortgage

Your interest rate stays the same for a set period, typically two to five years. This gives you certainty over your monthly payments, making it easier to budget. When the fixed period ends, the rate usually moves to the lender's standard variable rate.

  • Predictable monthly payments
  • Protection from interest rate rises
  • Typically available for 2, 3, or 5 year terms
  • Early repayment charges may apply during the fixed period

Variable Rate Mortgage

Your interest rate can change over time, meaning your monthly payments may go up or down. This includes tracker mortgages (which follow the Bank of England base rate) and standard variable rate mortgages set by the lender.

  • Payments may decrease if interest rates fall
  • Tracker rates follow the Bank of England base rate
  • Often no early repayment charges
  • Less certainty over monthly payments

Buy to Let Mortgage

Designed for properties you intend to rent out rather than live in. Lenders typically require a larger deposit (usually 25% or more) and assess affordability based on expected rental income rather than your personal salary.

  • Minimum deposit usually 25%
  • Affordability based on rental income
  • Interest-only options available
  • Higher interest rates than residential mortgages
