Our office is in Gosforth, at 40 Fawdon Lane, and we work with plenty of coastal clients. We can meet you there or talk by phone or video. A free initial appointment is the place to start.

Front Street, with its 1861 clock tower, runs through the heart of the town. Longsands stretches for around 1,200 yards to the north, with King Edward’s Bay and Prior’s Haven nearer the river. The Metro links the coast with the city. We also cover Cullercoats and Whitley Bay.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker in Tynemouth?

Free Mortgage Appointments for Every Customer


Period coastal homes don’t always suit every lender. We know who is comfortable with older terraces and converted flats. There’s no fee for the first conversation.

Leasehold flats bring extra checks on lease length, service charges and ground rent. We look at those points early. That way, a problem doesn’t surface just before exchange.

Popular Mortgage Scenarios in Tynemouth

Some people trade a flat for a house nearby. Others come from the city for the sea air. Whatever the reason, timing your sale and purchase needs care.

We’ll work out the equity you’ll carry over and what you’ll need to borrow. We’ll also check whether your current deal can move with you. Then we’ll help keep the chain moving.

Victorian homes near the sea can face wind, salt and weather on older stonework and windows. A valuer may comment on these. Converted flats also need a careful look at the lease.

We’ll explain what lenders tend to check on older coastal property and leasehold flats. If repairs are likely, we’ll help you plan for them. MoneyHelper’s guide to buying a home covers surveys and leases.

A flat is often the first step for buyers here. We support first time buyers from first questions to the day they get the keys. We’ll explain everything clearly.

We’ll review your savings, income and regular costs. Then we’ll suggest lenders and a sensible budget. We’ll also explain what to look for in a lease.

A coastal town with Metro links can attract tenants who work in the city. If you’re thinking of letting a property here, we can help. Flats and houses are assessed a little differently.

We’ll explain how lenders test rent against the loan and the deposit they usually want. If you already own rentals, we’ll look at the bigger picture. Then we’ll suggest a suitable route.

Deals end, and rates can rise afterwards. A quick check of your end date now can save stress later. Most lenders let you secure a new rate early.

We’ll compare a product transfer with your lender against the wider market. If you want to fund work on the house or change your term, we’ll include it. Then we’ll take care of the application.

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!
