First Time Buyers Mortgages

We will be there for you throughout your entire journey.  We can answer any questions you have, we will liaise with your estate agent, solicitors and lender to encourage progression and as little stress on you as possible.  

Self Employed Mortgages

There’s an old school perception that buying a house when you own a business or you’re a company director can be really tough, and stressful.

There are specialist lenders and mortgage deals specifically for self-employed people. The criteria for these mortgages does differ compared to a traditional residential mortgage. However we have experience in handling these applications. We have also worked with these lenders for a long time, fully understanding what they’re looking for.  
Our experienced team will be on hand to help you throughout the entire process. Get in touch today for a free, no obligation chat.

Being a home mover, before you make any commitments to a house move, speak to us.  We will discuss your individual current circumstances, and arrange a mortgage in principle for you.  By seeing us first, we can help assess your affordability, so you can make the appropriate judgments of whether now is the right time for a move. 

When you find your dream next home, we can assist throughout the whole process.  We will liaise with your Estate Agent, lender and solicitors throughout the purchase.  Being a home move, there are new steps in the process compared to when you first bought your home.  We can be there for any new questions you may have, and explain each phase for you.   

Remortgages

You may be looking to remortgage for a few different reasons.  It may be that your current fixed term deal is coming to an end and you don’t want to be paying more on your lender’s standard variable rate. Alternatively you may be looking to complete some home renovations.  

Let one of our experienced brokers search the market for a new deal for you.  This deal may not be with your current lender, but we can take care of the transfer for you. If you are looking to release funds from your property, we can advise on how much you can release and organise everything for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you secure me the most suitable deal?

We take all the information we can from you and put it through our processes to match the most suitable mortgage to you.  We have access to whole of the market, so you may hear us talk about Lenders you wouldn’t see on the High Street.  Having more access than most brokers you may see, means we are more likely to secure you the most suitable deal.  

What's the next steps?

Firstly you need to make an appointment with us to go through all of your details, and see if we can obtain you an agreement in principle.  From there you can go and find your dream home if you haven’t already! Once you’ve had your offer accepted on the home, we will get to work with your solicitors and lenders, to apply for your mortgage, get it agreed and get you moved in! 

If you’re already a homeowner or you’re looking at commercial finance, get in touch today, and let’s see how we can help you review your circumstances. 

What if I've been told no elsewhere?

Even if you have been told no before, that doesn‘t mean that there isn’t a mortgage suitable for you. Have a conversation with us, and we can assess your current circumstances with you to plan a way forward for you. 

How long will my mortgage be for

The mortgage term depends on different factors.  Namely how much you are looking to borrow, what type of rate, as well as personal circumstances.  The average is 25 years, however there are some for 29 years or less than 25.

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow is different for everyone. You’d need to speak to us so we could advise you on your affordability.

Well after finally almost unpacked into my first home! I'm a homeowner 🎉 I literally couldn't thank everyone at Mewstone more! I literally didn't have a clue what I was doing the whole time but the guys were always there for help and advice. I mostly spoke to Nathan, Mark and Seb. The laughs I've had with the guys all the way through has put me at such ease. I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you so much 😊

I would highly recommend Mewstone Mortgages. Buying a house for the first time is daunting, especially when you are self employed. Mike was brilliant in knowing more specialist lenders for this. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he spent lots of time explaining everything extremely thoroughly. He is really friendly and highly professional. When I have dropped documents off at the office everyone was lovely, friendly and always very helpful. You feel very supported in the whole process. Mike successfully arranged a mortgage for me and Seb is now helping me go through any insurances that I might need. Again, like Mike, he is lovely and friendly and very knowledgeable. He spent lots of time going through everything. You are in safe hands with Mewstone Mortgages.

I recently did another transaction with Mewstone Mortgage Advice, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated exceptional dedication, professionalism, and expertise in handling my mortgage needs.The process of securing a mortgage can be incredibly stressful and time-consuming, but they made it remarkably smooth and manageable. They spent countless hours meticulously chasing down details from various mortgage companies on my behalf, ensuring that every piece of information was accurate and up-to-date. Their persistence and hard work were evident at every step of the way.What impressed me the most was their unwavering commitment to finding the best possible mortgage options for my specific situation. They patiently explained every detail, answered all of my questions, and provided invaluable advice that helped me make informed decisions. Their personalised approach made me feel valued and reassured throughout the entire process.In addition to their outstanding service, the team at Mewstone was always prompt, courteous, and friendly. Their excellent communication skills and transparency kept me informed and confident that my mortgage application was in the best hands.Thanks to Mewstone Mortgage Advice, I now have a mortgage that perfectly fits my needs, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you are looking for a mortgage company that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, look no further. They are truly a cut above the rest.

Highly recommended! We needed to release equity from our home, initially we went directly to our mortgage provider who were a waste of time tbh & said we could only have a fifth of what we required?Mewstone we're recommend to us via a Facebook group & they managed to get us an offer from our same mortgage provider for 100% of what we initially asked for! Go figure that out?The whole process is straight forward & very quick as long as you have your paperwork in order. And the best thing about it all is we only had to pay £99 because we were keeping our same provider!Definitely using them again & more than happy to recommend them to everyone.

Myself and my wife re located from Kent back to Plymouth, we had sold our home and had some money to buy a new home in Plymouth unfortunately we did require a mortgage to assist us, we are both over 50 and we were looking for a home, which would require a decent size mortgage, my wife is retired and I still work and with finances in a few different areas we thought it would hard to obtain a good mortgage.We were given Mike from Mewstone details having heard good vibes from his work. Mike made contact, we explained our circumstances and he was able to assist us quickly with a mortgage in principle at the right amount of loan, we are now going through the paces of buying our home and this has been completed very quickly by the mortgage lender with Mike by our side all the way, great honest advice, explained in plain English, upfront with all costings and also will explain if things go wrong honestly. Our house has a very odd issue with holding a freehold title as well as a leasehold title, so Mike is assisting us each step of the way and being our go between with solicitors and estate agents.We are very happy, would 100% recommend Mike to anyone who asked, his specialist area is mortgages for older people but I am sure he can help many others looking for assistance with mortgages.

As a first time buyer, I was more than scared about the property ladder process. The team at Mewstone Mortgage advice were really great and broke things down for me, step by step. They answered all of my questions super clearly, letting me know the next stages so I was always kept in the loop. I’d highly recommend them, not only are they knowledgeable, they’re incredibly friendly too. A seamless process!
