Plan your home purchase: Buying Costs Β· Government Schemes

We help first-time buyers navigate the entire home purchase process in the UK β from choosing the right deal to signing contracts.

We'll check whether you could save on your current mortgage and help you compare suitable remortgage options.

Property investment mortgages. We advise landlords on the most suitable buy-to-let mortgage options.

Legal support for your property purchase in the UK. We'll help you find a trusted solicitor and guide you through the process.

We specialise in mortgages for self-employed individuals, contractors, and those with irregular income.

Have defaults, CCJs, or a poor credit history? We work with specialist lenders who consider complex cases.

The mortgage process in the UK can be complex. We'll guide you through every step β clearly and efficiently.
We start with a free consultation. We'll understand your situation, explain the process, and assess your affordability β before you start viewing properties.
We'll help you obtain an AIP, giving an indication of how much you could borrow. It does not confirm your purchase budget or guarantee approval: the lender still needs to assess your full application and check the property.
With an indication of your borrowing options, you can look for properties allowing for your deposit and purchase costs. Once your offer is accepted, we move straight into action.
We compare deals from over 100 lenders and recommend the best option for you. Once you agree, we submit the full application and handle all the paperwork.
The lender reviews your application in detail. After a positive assessment, they issue a formal Mortgage Offer β a key milestone in the process.
We'll help you arrange appropriate life insurance, income protection, or buildings and contents insurance to protect you, your family, and your new home.
Once the legal process (conveyancing) is complete, completion takes place β the official transfer of the property. Congratulations on your new home!

Calculate an estimate of your monthly mortgage repayment. This is indicative only β contact us for an accurate quote.
Deposit requirements vary by lender and product. A zero input is for calculation only and does not mean a no-deposit mortgage is available.
Illustrative capital-and-interest repayments assume the same interest rate throughout the mortgage term and exclude fees. Actual rates and mortgage availability depend on your circumstances and chosen lender.

Access to over 100 lenders and financial institutions, including exclusive deals not available directly to the public.
We explain how lenders may assess your income, deposit, credit history and documents, so you know what to prepare before applying.
Free initial consultation. Broker fee is typically charged at application stage, or upon completion for consolidation cases.
We work evenings and weekends by prior arrangement. We adapt to your schedule.
Over 226 positive reviews from satisfied clients. Our results speak for themselves.

"I highly recommend Mariusz Wasiluk (mortgage broker) and Magdalena Kurowska (insurance). We had great communication with them from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, were very helpful, and thanks to them the whole process was much less stressful. Great cooperation!"
We answer the questions we hear most often. For detailed information, you can always reach us during a free consultation.
Yes, but it depends on your income, deposit, credit profile, employment type and the purpose of the mortgage. We help clients understand their realistic options before applying and match them with lenders whose criteria fit their circumstances. This is especially useful if your case is not straightforward, for example if you are self-employed, new to the UK, buying with a small deposit or have previous credit issues.
The time needed for a purchase or remortgage depends on the lender, complete documents and legal work. A purchase can also be affected by the property chain and any issues with the property. At the start, we will discuss a likely timeline for your circumstances and what you can prepare in advance.
Yes. We support clients in clear, straightforward English and can also assist Polish-speaking clients throughout the mortgage process. Our aim is to make every stage easier to understand, from the initial affordability check to the mortgage application and completion.
During the initial consultation, we discuss your situation, income, deposit, credit history, current commitments and what you want to achieve. This allows us to give you an initial view of your options and explain the next steps. The consultation is free and without obligation.
Previous credit issues do not always prevent you from getting a mortgage. The outcome depends on the type of issue, when it happened, the amount involved, your current financial position and your deposit. We can review your situation and, where appropriate, consider specialist lenders who assess cases individually.
