Affordable and sustainable solutions from experienced advisers
In today’s competitive marketplace lenders are constantly reviewing and changing the range of mortgages on offer. And with a wide range of interest rate options, the benefits to you are dependent upon your personal circumstances, as well as the economic climate at the time the loan is taken out. Looking for a mortgage is not as simple as finding the lender with the cheapest interest rate, or premium.
That’s why we review all the key factors that affect the cost to you, as well as carrying out a thorough fact-find to help clarify your financial situation, before providing a recommendation.
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
Based in Glasgow, we service the whole of the UK with clients throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

Other Key Considerations
Taking out a mortgage, or associated protection cover, is not as straightforward as simply going for the cheapest rate or premium. Other key areas to take into consideration are:
- Are there any arrangement, booking or valuation fees to pay?
- Interest rate rises – have you taken into account how an interest rate rise might affect your mortgage?
- Early repayment charges – should you want to partially or fully repay your mortgage
- Portability – can you transfer your mortgage onto a new property should you want to move?
- Fixed rate – would you benefit by fixing the interest rate with the lender for a set period?
- Annual percentage rate (APRC) – this reflects the mortgage rate, plus other charges, giving you the real cost of borrowing the loan.
- How flexible is your deal? Can you overpay, take a break from paying, or switch repayment types, or do these incur charges?
- How often the lender calculates and adds on interest to your loan may also affect the cost.
