Trusted Mortgage Advice in Heddon-on-the-Wall

Looking for a mortgage broker in Heddon-on-the-Wall? We help homeowners and buyers in the village and the surrounding area with independent advice. Whether you’re moving, remortgaging or planning ahead, we’ll make the process clear.

Heddon-on-the-Wall sits on a hill about nine miles west of Newcastle. As the name suggests, it lies on Hadrian’s Wall. In fact, the village has the longest unbroken stretch of the Wall at its original width. The village grew a lot in the 1960s, so older stone cottages sit alongside more modern family homes.

Your Local Mortgage Broker in Heddon-on-the-Wall


We’re a local mortgage broker based in Gosforth, and we work with clients across the west of Newcastle and Northumberland. Every customer gets a free initial appointment. Rather than offering one lender’s products, we search a wide panel of lenders. Consequently, you get a broader view of the market.

Heddon-on-the-Wall has no railway station, but the A69 passes close by. That makes it easy to reach Newcastle, Hexham and the Tyne Valley by road. We also help buyers nearby in Wylam and Darras Hall.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker in Heddon-on-the-Wall?

Free Mortgage Appointments for Every Customer


Your first appointment with us is free, with no commitment. Because we’re a broker, we compare products from a broad panel of lenders. So you can see more options than a single bank would normally show you.

Village purchases can involve older homes, private drives or longer commutes, and lenders like the details to be clear. We’ll gather what they need and present your application properly. We’ll also keep you posted at each stage. Our clients’ reviews below describe their experience.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Heddon-on-the-Wall

You might be moving into the village for its views and quieter pace. Alternatively, you may be moving on to a smaller or larger home. Either way, we’ll arrange the finance and help you keep both sides of the move in step.

We’ll review what you could borrow and whether to port your existing mortgage. Then we’ll compare suitable options and agree a budget with you. From there, we’ll stay in contact with your solicitor and lender until completion.

Heddon-on-the-Wall offers a village setting on a hilltop, yet Newcastle is only about nine miles away. With the A69 close by, many residents drive to work in the city or the Tyne Valley. Much of the housing dates from the village’s growth in the 1960s, so family homes with gardens are common.

Because there’s no railway station, it’s worth building travel costs into your budget alongside the mortgage. We’ll help you work out a comfortable monthly figure and compare lenders for the home you have in mind. You can also read MoneyHelper’s guidance on buying a home before we talk.

Buying your first home in a village can take a little extra planning. We support first time buyers in Heddon-on-the-Wall and across the west of Newcastle. We’ll take you through the process one step at a time.

Firstly, we’ll look at your deposit and what you could borrow. Secondly, we’ll find a mortgage that suits you and help with the application. Lastly, we’ll keep you updated until the keys are yours.

Walkers on the Hadrian’s Wall Path pass through the village, and Newcastle is close by. As a result, some investors consider holiday lets or long-term rentals here. We help landlords understand their options before they commit.

We can help with standard buy to let, holiday lets and let to buy. We’ll explain how lenders look at rental income and deposits. Then we’ll help you choose a mortgage that suits your plans.

When a mortgage deal ends, many people move onto their lender’s standard variable rate without realising. That could mean paying more than necessary. So it’s worth reviewing things early.

We’ll compare your current mortgage with deals that may suit you. You may want a new fixed rate, a shorter term, or extra borrowing for improvements. We’ll explain each option and handle the switch.

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!
