When the high street says no

Not everyone fits a lender's standard criteria. No deposit, a commercial property, a visa or an unusual income: we know the specialist lenders and how to build a strong case.

No-deposit mortgages

A small number of lenders now offer 100% mortgages to eligible buyers, often with a strong rental history standing in for a deposit. Others use a family member's savings or property as security.

  • 100% loan-to-value products for eligible buyers
  • Family springboard and guarantor mortgages
  • Honest advice on negative-equity risk

Commercial mortgages

Buying premises for your business, a mixed-use building or a commercial investment? Commercial lending works differently, and preparation is everything.

  • Owner-occupied and investment property
  • Semi-commercial and mixed-use buildings
  • Applications built to avoid the common reasons for decline

Foreign national mortgages

Living and working in the UK on a visa? Many lenders will help, and requirements for residency, deposit and visa length vary widely.

  • Skilled Worker, family and other visas
  • Residential and buy-to-let purchases
  • Lenders with no minimum UK residency

Complex circumstances

Part-and-part mortgages, multiple income streams, past credit problems or later-life borrowing. If your situation needs a closer look, we'll give it one.

  • Part repayment, part interest-only
  • Adverse credit and recent credit events
  • Bonuses, overtime, commission and second jobs
Please note

Not all buy-to-let and commercial mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

  • A clear story for the underwriterWe explain your circumstances so the numbers make sense.
  • Upfront honestyIf it's not the right time, we'll tell you, and help you plan for when it is.
