Book a personal consultation 1
We take our time getting to know you, so we can offer advice that’s right. Whether you’re self-employed, starting a new job, or have your heart set on a new-build – we’ll consider all the variables that make a difference, then suggest options that might not have crossed your mind.
Get approved
(i.e. mortgage in principle)2
We’ll run the numbers and work out how much you can borrow. Then we literally check thousands of mortgage deals, from the high street banks to lenders that are less well-known, to get you that all-important “mortgage in principle” at the best possible rate.
Find your dream home3
You’re now in a much stronger position to book viewings as a potential buyer. Having a mortgage in principle means you can act fast and make an offer the moment you find your dream home. Once you have an offer accepted, we’ll get the wheels moving for you.
Leave the rest to us4
We’ll sort out all the paperwork and liaise with your lender, solicitor and surveyor to make sure everything goes smoothly. It’s this stage that our service comes into its own – having physical branches and direct phone numbers means we’re incredibly easy to reach and responsive.
And that’s it…
you just bought a home!
We’re rated 5/5 on TrustPilot based on over 24,000 reviews (and counting).

If a home still feels out of reach…
We’ll tell you about every suitable first time buyer mortgage scheme
From Shared Equity to Exclusive Lender Offers, we’ll do our best to shave a little time off your goal or help your budget stretch further.
In your personal consultation, we’ll explain how all of these schemes work. For instance, the LIFT scheme (Scotland only) offers low deposit options to buyers, backed by the Scottish Government. There’s also affordable housing schemes that help customers get a foot on the ladder with as little as a 5% deposit.
There’s too much to go through here and some might not be relevant, but we explain all this in the call. There’s a tonne of stuff we can suggest that might mean you’re there but you just don’t know it.
