Lauras Story: Avoiding a 6.5k ERC


Laura came to us after separating from her partner and wanted to buy a shared ownership home. She was still tied into a 2-year fixed mortgage deal and faced a daunting £6,500 early repayment charge (ERC).


At first, she assumed paying the ERC was unavoidable. But after reviewing her situation, our broker Natasha identified a smarter approach. By porting her existing mortgage and submitting the new application within three months of selling her previous home, we were able to secure approval for a smaller mortgage while still convincing the lender to refund the full ERC.


We guided Laura through the process from start to finish, ensuring the lender fully understood the situation and the benefits of the ported mortgage. Thanks to careful planning and market knowledge, we achieved a smooth transition and a significant saving.

Tom & Sophie’s Smooth Move Back to London


Tom and Sophie were relocating back to London after spending time in Scotland. They were still in a fixed-rate mortgage with NatWest and wanted to buy a new-build home, so timing was crucial.


One of them had transferred to a new company but hadn’t started yet, which complicated the mortgage process. Initially, NatWest couldn’t accommodate them, so we arranged a mortgage through TSB to keep the purchase on track. During the application process, their new job officially began, allowing us to secure a new offer with NatWest, meaning they avoided paying early repayment charges from switching lenders.


Recently, when their deal was coming to an end, we reviewed their situation and moved them onto a new lower rate, just weeks before rates increased. We guided Tom and Sophie every step of the way, ensuring deadlines, lender requirements, and new-build timing all aligned perfectly, helping them secure their London home smoothly and without unnecessary costs.

Raj’s First Home Purchase Made Possible


Our client Raj was on a skilled worker visa, supporting his stay-at-home wife and their one-year-old son. He needed affordability support to secure a residential mortgage with just a 10% deposit, as he was the sole earner in the family.


Raj came to us through an estate agent, and we worked closely with both him and the agent to make the purchase possible. By negotiating a good price on the property, we were able to stretch his deposit further, helping him make a strong offer while keeping the mortgage affordable.



Thanks to this careful planning and collaboration, Raj secured a great deal on his first home, giving his family the stability and space they needed.

Kirushan & Tharshee: A Smooth Solution for Their First Home


A couple, both on visas, were purchasing a new-build apartment with a 10% deposit of their own and a further 5% builder contribution. With no dependents, good credit, and incomes to support the borrowing, their application appeared straightforward.

However, a complication arose with the lender due to the property being a converted apartment. This created uncertainty and risked delaying the purchase.


Our broker, Dan, managed the situation directly with the lender. By clarifying requirements and ensuring everything was in order, he resolved the issue efficiently. The mortgage was approved, allowing the couple to complete as planned.



Thanks to Dan’s expertise, what could have become a serious obstacle was handled smoothly, and the couple moved into their new-build apartment without delay.
