Boldon Colliery grew around a pit sunk in the 1860s, which closed in 1982. Colliery terraces still line many streets. Newer estates and a business park have grown up nearby since then. Boldon New Town, south of the old pit, was added in the 1910s.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker in Boldon Colliery?

Free Mortgage Appointments for Every Customer


Choosing between an older terrace and a new-build home affects deposit, valuation and timing. We’ll talk you through each route. The first conversation is free. We’ll also explain how long each step usually takes.

Road and Metro links bring buyers who work in Sunderland, Newcastle or the business parks. We’ll explain how lenders treat your salary, overtime or contract work. Contract and agency workers can still get a mortgage, but the evidence matters.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Boldon Colliery

Many moves here are short hops, from a terrace to a newer semi with parking. Others come from Jarrow or Washington for the road links.

We’ll check your existing deal for porting and early repayment charges. Then we’ll plan borrowing for the new home and keep the chain moving. If you’d like to keep your first home and let it, we’ll explain how that works.

Colliery-era terraces may need updating, while new builds come with reservation deadlines. Lenders treat each one differently on valuation and offer length.

For a new build, we’ll keep an eye on offer expiry dates against the build schedule. For an older terrace, we’ll talk through survey choices. MoneyHelper’s guide to buying a home explains both.

Older terraces can make a first purchase realistic here. We help first time buyers weigh up deposit size against monthly payments.

We’ll look at your income, outgoings and credit history in one go. Then we’ll suggest lenders that may suit and what they’ll ask you for. We’ll also explain new-build incentives and how lenders treat them.

Being close to the A19 and the Metro can attract tenants who commute. A rental mortgage is tested in a different way from a home loan.

Lenders look at how the expected rent compares with the loan. We’ll explain the checks and the size of deposit usually needed. If the home is a new build, some lenders apply extra rules for letting.

When your current deal finishes, payments usually move to the lender’s standard rate. Looking early gives you time to compare.

We’ll set a product switch against offers from other lenders, fees included. Borrowing more or changing the term can be looked at together. See our remortgage advice page. Then we’ll take the paperwork off your hands.

Absolutely fantastic service this is the 3rd time I've used Dave and his team with a special mention to Leon (this guy is great) who has been my advisor this time to complete my mortgage and everytime it has been the most truthful, helpful, professional and friendly experience I've ever had. They go above and beyond, with excellent advice and communication with no waffle or messing about, they are always at the end of the phone/text/email for any questions or help required. I would recommend them to anyone and from my experience they are much better than using advisors recommended by the estate agents.

Leon helped me through the process and was always helpful and on point. Any issues or jargon I didn't understand completely he was there to clarify. Honestly if I ever have need of their services again I'll definitely be using them and asking for Leon.

Leon helped us find the best deal possible. Re-mortgaging is a bit of a process these days and there's no way I would have had the time to do all of the searching myself, not to mention access the products that were available as a result. PlainSavings helped us find the best deal, at a term that suited our needs and without any hassle. Happy to recommend!
