Mortgages

Are you looking to take out a mortgage, if so which mortgage is right for you, we can help you decide?

Perhaps you’re moving home, buying your first place, or looking to buy-to-let? Maybe you want to remortgage, or raise money by borrowing against the equity in your home?

Whatever you’re looking to do, we can help you choose a mortgage that’s right for you.

Matching your requirements and circumstances to the mortgage market is a complex business. That’s why going to a single provider like your bank, or using a web-based price comparison site, may mean it’s far less likely to find the right mortgage for your needs. Furthermore, different lending criteria may mean that the outcome could be unclear.

Our commitment to you is to review every suitable mortgage lender available to us, from a comprehensive range of mortgages across the market, to check those that have products and lending criteria to match your requirements.

How much can you borrow?
We’ll work out the amount lenders will lend to you based on their criteria and your circumstances. Levels of borrowing vary dramatically from lender to lender and it’s our job to ensure your dreams and goals are achieved, by advising on the right lender for your needs.

Once we’ve helped you find the most suitable mortgage, we’ll help you secure your home with a comprehensive insurance policy and look after you and your family with the right protection.

Competitive mortgage rates, that’s our commitment to you and much, much more

An absolutely superb company. Jamie Beer was recommended by a friend and since then we have used them/ him several times such is our confidence and satisfaction. We have always been delighted with the service provided by Jamie and the team.

We received exceptional service from Jamie Beer from Mayfair Financial in securing our mortgage. Our situation was complicated and drawn-out, but Jamie was always highly responsive, extremely patient and very effective. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Jamie Beer from Mayfair Financial was absolutely instrumental in helping us to buy our first house. He walked us through securing our mortgage - not easy as freelancers - and persisted to help when one house fell through. He supported us over the course of 18months, liaising with all parties involved in the process and always available when we needed him. I really can not recommend Jamie and Mayfair Financial enough and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We owe Mayfair and Darren in particular much more than a 5 star review, they helped us out over a really difficult 2 year period trying to buy our first property, and in a process full of people out for themselves it always felt as if Mayfair were on our side. They are transparent, upfront and always there when you need them. Thank you so much. Jacob & Amy

The mortgage market can be complex and confusing – that’s why we’re here! Check out our short guide to mortgage types

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Get a foot onto the property ladder. Buying your first home can be an exciting, but daunting, first step. As a first time buyer, you can benefit from some great deals, with borrowing up to 95% loan-to-value. We help you work out all the costs associated with the purchase and ensure the borrowing you need can be achieved. We will hold your hand every step of the way.

More and more people are choosing flexible ways of working and anyone who’s been a Contractor will know it’s far more complicated finding the right mortgage deal.

Mortgages for Contractors can be something of a minefield. Lenders differ in the way they assess a Contractor.

At Mayfair we work with every client individually. Whether you have just started Contracting or have been for many years, there are lenders out there that will consider your application.

We provide advice for the following Contract workers:

  •  Self-employed Contractors
  • Employed fixed/short term Contractors
  • Contractors working under Umbrella companies
  • Contractors with only a few months contracting experience
  • Agency workers with at least 12 months working history

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

We already advise business owners and company directors on protecting the things that are most important to them. So, we’re well-placed to advise on the best mortgage options if you if you are self-employed.

Lenders will class you as self-employed if you are a sole trader, a partner in a partnership or a company director with an identified percentage shareholding, typically 20% and above.

We can advise you on what you’ll need to supply to verify your self-employed status and with our expert, professional guidance, we can cut through the options and get the best mortgage for your needs.

Cutting through the myths of mortgages for the self-employed:

  • There are several mainstream lenders who will lend to applicants with just one year’s trading figures, so there is no need to wait if you have recently become self-employed. However, the majority will want two years trading figures.
  • In general, lenders will work off the average of the last two years’ income figures:
    • For sole traders, this is the average of your last two years’ net profit (after all costs and expenses have been deducted from your turnover)
    • For limited company directors, lenders will use a combination of salary and dividend income
    • Some lenders will use salary and share of the net profit from a business, if you are a limited company director. If a director is not receiving all the profits available within the business, this option can yield greater affordability, if needed.

You’ll have access to all the same mortgage products available to employed applicants.

An interest-only mortgage gives you cheaper monthly payments on your home loan but you are not actually paying back any debt.

At the end of the mortgage term you will still owe your lender the amount that you borrowed, and therefore you need to have plans to repay this at the start of the loan. A repayment mortgage clears the debt by the end of the mortgage term. New regulatory requirements stipulate that lenders can provide interest-only mortgages, only if there is a credible strategy for repaying the capital.

Despite this, the majority of mortgage lenders have chosen not to offer interest-only residential mortgages, and where lenders do offer these mortgages, there is strict criteria to meet, before a lender will offer your mortgage on this basis.

This is why it is very important to seek advice when considering an interest-only mortgage, we are here to help.

Buy-to-let property can be an attractive way to generate income.

Not only can investment properties provide you with extra income, but they are a way in which you can create assets that can be passed on to your children and your childrens children, thus creating generational wealth.

Whether you are an experienced Landlord or looking to invest for the first time, we can help you. Buy-to-let lending is worked out based on the expected rental income of the property, not on your income.

With access to a comprehensive range of lenders, we aim to find the right deal for you and manage the mortgage process, from submitting your application, to renting out the property.

We ensure that you understand your legal responsibilities as a Landlord; we are here to help.

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

If you’re thinking of letting your home, a let-to-buy mortgage will give you the funds to buy another home to live in.

Let-to-buy is where a mortgage borrower keeps hold of their existing home and rents it out to tenants, and then buys a new home for themselves and their family to live in.

It is a bit like an upside down version of buy-to-let, but with buy-to-let you purchase a property with the intention of renting it out. With let-to-buy, you purchase a property with the intention of moving into it, and you let your existing home to tenants.

Lenders offer specific let-to-buy mortgages, which are designed exclusively for this purpose. With let-to-buy you redeem your existing residential mortgage to a buy-to-let deal, which is worked out based on the expected rental income of the property, not on your income. This frees up your actual income, allowing you to take out a new residential mortgage on your new home.

Providing you have sufficient equity in your home it is possible to release equity to help you raise a deposit for your new home, but bear in mind that let-to-buy mortgages are usually only available up to a maximum of 75% of the property’s value.

Most buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

If you require a mortgage or remortgage for a HMO (House of multiple occupancy) then our buy-to-let mortgage expert can help.

As the vast majority of standard buy-to-let lenders do not lend in this area, advice is really the solution to obtaining the best deal for your circumstances.  You do not have to take commercial finance and pay expensive rates, but there is a margin above standard buy-to-let deals generally.  There are usually some significant savings to be made versus commercial finance rates, so it’s worth getting advice.

Types of accommodation that are likely to require an HMO mortgage, irrespective of needing an HMO Licence:

  • A house share or flat share
  • Student accommodation (not always)
  • A converted house split into bedsits
  • A converted house with mixed accommodation types
  • Houses converted into bedsits
  • Shared houses with single or multiple ASTs

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

A second home mortgage is a mortgage for buying a second home, including a Holiday home – not to be confused with getting a remortgage or second charge mortgage.

If you are already paying off a mortgage, but wish to buy another home, chances are you will need to take out a second home mortgage.
Of all the mortgage providers offering second home mortgages, you will be faced with stricter criteria in the application.
Generally speaking, in order to get a second home mortgage, you will usually need a larger deposit than what you might have been allowed to have for your first mortgage.

You will go through all the same financial assessments as usual, but the mortgage provider will be extra cautious about lending to you, as it will be more expensive for you to pay two mortgage repayments every month.

Whether you want a second home mortgage, as a new home to live in, or as a holiday home, there will probably be more obstacles than when you tried to get your first mortgage.
Talk to us about your plans and we will advise you of your options and borrowing capacity.
