Home and Buy-to-Let Mortgages

Your mortgage is likely to be your single largest financial commitment.

With concerns about the possibility of interest rate rises, there’s never been a better time to switch lenders. You need to find the right deal now – and for the next few years.

Many of our clients come to us because they have been turned down for a mortgage elsewhere.

We don’t just deal with the ‘high street’ lenders – we can source funding from smaller, niche lenders too. We can help with equity release loans and find more competitive refinance re-mortgage rates.

Take a look at our Guide to Mortgages and Protection to get a feel for our service and how it will make your life, your mortgage loan and your move, easier for you.

If you are borrowing to invest in rental property, then we know that the buy-to-let market is complex. There are many different mortgages to choose from. Download our Borrow to invest in rental property fact sheet for more information on how we can help.

Gary Cosgrove is our senior mortgage advisor and Daniel Bailey is a qualified member of the Society of Mortgage Professionals.

Our Services & Expertise

Increasingly Estate Agents and Sellers are requesting a mortgage ‘Agreement in Principle’ before they can accept your offer. We can now offer a service designed to speed up this process. On receipt of the correct information it may be possible to obtain the agreement, before the full application process has started.

Please call us or email for further information regarding this service and bring these mortgage application documents with you to our first meeting, if you can.

A poor credit rating doesn’t mean you can’t get a mortgage

If you have missed a few credit card payments or made late payments, had a County Court Judgment (CCJ) awarded against you, have previously been made bankrupt or IVA, you may still be able to get a mortgage loan if you know where to look.

We have access to many specialist adverse credit lenders who take a more sympathetic view on poor credit history, contact us to find out what we can do for you.

How long will it take?

That’s a difficult question and sometimes that’s down to you, the quicker we get in all the information, the quicker we can apply! Most lending decisions are made within 24 hours, but mortgage offers can take longer – generally between 7 days and a month depending on the lender used. This may also depend on how busy the housing and mortgage market is and if you mortgage is complex.

Do you charge broker fees?

Every case and client is different, so our fees may be dependent on a number of circumstances. We will provide you with a breakdown of our fees on request, and please be assured that all initial discussions or meetings are at our cost, not yours.

* We will introduce you to a master broker to find the right commercial lending for your projects.

"The service at Cosgrove Brown really has been first class. Not only was Dan, the Mortgage Broker, friendly and relaxed, nothing was too much trouble for him. He seemed to go above and beyond in helping where he could. He really took a lot of pressure off me in what could have been a really stressful time. I would 100% recommend Cosgrove Brown, the service was exceptional and really good value for money too."

Samantha Lewis - Swansea

"I was recommended Cosgrove Brown by a family member and was not disappointed. Dan has now arranged 2 mortgages for me and each one has been completely stress free and that is amazing for someone who worries about everything. Dan was understanding of my situation and is extremely good at his job. He is always at the end of the phone or email with any queries I had day or night! He literally takes everything out of your hands and deals with it all from start to finish but keeps you updated all through the process. I honestly cannot recommend this firm in particular Dan Bailey enough. I now have a lovely home to call my own thanks to them!"
