Wylam station is on the Tyne Valley line, which links Newcastle with Hexham and Carlisle. Because of that, many buyers choose the village for its mix of countryside and easy access to the city. It’s worth building commuting costs into your budget, though.

Lenders look at your regular outgoings as well as your income when they assess affordability. We’ll help you plan for travel costs and understand how much you could borrow. If you work from home some days, or have more than one income, we’ll explain how lenders may view that.

Buying your first home can feel daunting, especially if you’re new to the process. We help first time buyers in Wylam, the Tyne Valley and Newcastle understand their options. We’ll keep things simple from the start.

You may be buying your first rental or expanding a portfolio across the North East. In either case, you need a mortgage that fits your investment plans. We help landlords in Wylam and the surrounding area with tailored advice.

Whether it’s a standard rental, an HMO, a holiday let or let to buy, we can help. We’ll explain how lenders work out the rent they need to see and what deposit to expect. Finally, we’ll help you choose a mortgage that suits your circumstances.

Is your mortgage deal ending in the next few months? Then it’s a good time to review your options. If you do nothing, you may move onto your lender’s standard variable rate, which could mean paying more than you need to.

We’ll review your current mortgage and compare deals that may suit you. You might want a new fixed rate, to raise money for home improvements, or simply a second opinion. Either way, we’ll make remortgaging clear and straightforward.

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 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!
