Hexham is about 11 miles away by road, and Newcastle and Carlisle are each around 34. Many residents commute, using stations at Hexham or Haydon Bridge. The dale’s lead-mining past left around 40 bastles, a kind of fortified farmhouse. We also cover Humshaugh and Corbridge.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker in Allendale?

Free Mortgage Appointments for Every Customer


A broker compares many lenders rather than one. That matters when the property or your income is a little unusual. The first conversation costs you nothing.

Rural homes can come with private water, septic tanks or extra land. Lenders want to understand features like these. We help you gather the details early so the case runs smoothly.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Allendale

Some people move to the dale for space and scenery. Others move within it as their needs change. In each case, the finance should fit the timing of your move.

We’ll work out the equity you’ll carry forward and the new loan you’ll need. If your current deal can move with you, we’ll check whether that’s worthwhile. Then we’ll keep all parties talking.

Many homes here are traditional stone buildings, some on larger plots. Lenders may ask about access, outbuildings, private drainage or agricultural ties. A longer commute can also affect your monthly budget.

We’ll flag features that might matter to a lender before you make an offer. We’ll also build travel costs into your affordability check. MoneyHelper’s guide to buying a home covers surveys in more depth.

Starting out in a rural village can feel daunting. We help first time buyers plan a purchase that works for them. We’ll explain each step as we go.

Our first meeting covers your income, savings and regular costs. Then we’ll suggest lenders and a realistic price range. We’ll stay with you until completion.

The area has holiday cottages as well as homes let to local tenants. These need different types of mortgage. It’s worth being clear which one you want before you buy.

For a long-term let, lenders test the expected rent against the loan. We’ll explain how that works and what deposit is typical. If a holiday let suits you better, we can discuss that too.

Your current deal has a set end date. When it passes, your rate may climb. A check-in a few months ahead gives you time to compare.

We’ll compare staying with your lender against moving elsewhere. If you want to borrow for repairs or reduce your term, we’ll factor that in. Then we’ll take care of the application. We’ll also remind you well before your next deal ends.

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!
