We’ll look at your equity, your income and whether to keep or move your current deal. Then we’ll compare options and help you settle on a realistic budget. Finally, we’ll keep the process on track through to completion.

Moving up to a larger home usually means borrowing more. It can also mean selling and buying at the same time. Lenders will check that the higher payments are affordable, especially when childcare or other family costs are involved.

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!
