Coastal property can suit some lenders better than others. We know where to look for your kind of purchase. You won’t pay anything for our first conversation.

A home you live in and a cottage you let to visitors need different finance. Picking the wrong type can cause trouble later. We help you get the structure right from day one.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Bamburgh

Perhaps you’re moving to the coast for good, or relocating within the area. Homes here don’t come up often, so readiness counts. A clear budget helps you act when the time comes.

We’ll estimate your equity and how much more you may need to borrow. If your current deal has early repayment charges, we’ll take them into account. Then we’ll guide everything through to moving day.

Some buyers here want a cottage to let to visitors for part of the year. A holiday let mortgage is a specialist product with its own criteria. Not every lender offers one.

Lenders usually look at likely letting income as well as your personal finances. We’ll explain the main checks, typical deposits and running costs to plan for. MoneyHelper also sets out the costs of buying a home.

A first home in a small coastal village may take time to find. We help first time buyers prepare so they’re ready when it does. We’ll keep things simple.

We’ll look at your income, savings and monthly spending. Then we’ll show you which lenders may fit and roughly what they could lend. We’ll explain each step before it happens.

Some properties here are let on longer tenancies rather than to holiday guests. That calls for a standard buy to let mortgage. The rules differ from holiday letting.

We’ll explain how lenders assess the rent and what deposit they tend to expect. We’ll also compare long-term and holiday letting finance if you’re undecided. Then you can choose with the facts in front of you.

Whether it’s your home or a let, every fixed or tracker deal ends at some point. After that, a higher rate may apply. A review a few months ahead keeps you in control.

We’ll check what your lender is offering and compare it with the wider market. If you want to fund improvements or change your term, we’ll include that. We’ll then handle the paperwork with you.

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!
