Free Mortgage Appointments for Every Customer


Lenders can view terraces, ex-council houses and newer homes in different ways. Knowing which lenders are comfortable with each saves wasted applications. There is no charge for the first conversation. We’ll also tell you what documents to start gathering now.

Plenty of local buyers commute through the tunnel or work on Tyneside’s industrial estates. Shift pay and overtime are common. We’ll show lenders how your income really works. If overtime has only started recently, we’ll explain how lenders view a shorter record.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Jarrow

A typical move here is from a two-bedroom terrace to a three-bedroom semi. Some buyers also arrive from Hebburn or Gateshead looking for more room.

We’ll look at whether your mortgage can move with you and what leaving early might cost. Then we’ll keep the sale and purchase on the same timetable. Buying before you sell is possible in some cases, and we can talk that through.

Many former council houses here were bought by tenants and later resold. Most lenders are happy with standard brick homes, but some non-traditional build types need a specialist.

We’ll check the construction type early, so a valuation doesn’t catch you out. MoneyHelper’s guide to buying a home covers surveys and legal costs.

Terraced streets close to the Metro give first buyers a realistic way in. We help first time buyers turn savings into a workable purchase plan.

We’ll talk through deposit options, monthly costs and your credit file. Then you’ll know which lenders could fit before you make an offer. We’ll also explain the survey options, so you know what you are buying.

Terraces near transport links can appeal to tenants who work across Tyneside. A rental mortgage is judged differently from a residential one.

Expected rent is the main test for most lenders. We’ll explain how they work it out and roughly what deposit they’ll want. If you already own a rental home, we’ll look at how another one fits.

Your current deal has a fixed end date. Miss it and you’ll normally roll onto the lender’s standard rate without warning.

We’ll compare staying put with moving lender, including any fees on each side. If you need to release money for repairs, we’ll factor that in. Then we’ll look after the paperwork until the switch is complete.

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!
