Buying property in London comes with unique challenges – high house prices, competitive bidding, and complex mortgage requirements. Many buyers assume they need a London-based mortgage broker to navigate the market, but that often comes at a premium.

At Helen Ferneyhough Associates, we provide expert mortgage advice for London buyers at fair, transparent, and competitive rates – without inflated fees typically associated with the capital. Our northern-based firm offers wide mortgage market mortgage solutions tailored to London buyers, often at a fraction of the cost.

Do You Need a Mortgage Broker for London Property?

London’s property market moves fast, and buyers need to be well-prepared to secure a mortgage quickly. Here’s why working with an experienced mortgage broker is essential:

1. Access to Exclusive Mortgage Deals – We have relationships with lenders who specialise in London properties, including high LTV mortgages for first-time buyers and competitive remortgage options.

2. Expert Guidance on Affordability – London properties often come at a higher price to the rest of the country, which is why its so important to review your affordability criteria as soon as possible. We will help you with this and plan for the future. 

3. Fast-Tracked Applications – With London’s fast-moving market, we ensure that your mortgage application is processed as quickly and efficiently as possible, giving you an edge over other buyers.
