Mortgage Broker

A colleague of mine recently bought a house in Bury, Greater Manchester. He was a first time buyer and went for something that was affordable - a simple 2 up / 2 down terrace on the way out to Tottington.

As he was self employed he found that getting approved for a mortgage was not the most straightforward thing he'd ever done. He didn't have any employers pay slips for example but he was able to demonstrate a regular payments into his account that would adequately cover his mortgage outgoing.

The problem was that these payments were never for a standard amount. This meant that banks were not interested in lending him money. The broker / adviser he used to get him his mortgage was Manchester Mortgages (you can view their Bury page here - https://manchestermortgages.co.uk/bury-mortgage-broker-advisor/)

These brokers come with a wealth of experience and have been working in the mortgage business between them for over 40 years. Their advice is second to none. Manchester Mortgages are often able to get you approved for a mortgage where other companies have failed. Call them now on 0161 706 0242.

I was recently contacted by a client wanting to buy a new build house in Flixton, Manchester. Barratt Homes have a new development in Flixton, Manchester called Scholar's Green (see https://www.smartnewhomes.com/new-homes/developers/branch/barratt-homes-scholars-green-manchester-82863/?from_fd=1).

My client was looking to buy one of these new build properties and had sold their current house subject to contract. All was good, or so she thought, but unfortunately she only had a 5% deposit and because she was looking to buy a house priced at £279,000, her mortgage lender were unwilling to extend credit facilities and loan her the money. Hence, she was not able to get a mortgage.

Getting a mortgage for a property you want to buy can often be infuriating because you believe that you have all the lending criteria sorted only to then be told that the lender will not give you a mortgage. My advise therefore is to read the pages of this blog - start with the home page and you'll find plenty of mortgage brokers who will be able to exceed what a high street mortgage lender can do and successfully broker you a mortgage.

So if you've been refused a mortgage by a high street lender, don't give up. It could actually be a blessing in disguise as you'll get a much better deal from an independent mortgage broker.

Sale is claimed by the people who live there to be in Cheshire, but really it's part of Greater Manchester. Positioned between Stretford and Altrincham, Sale is a popular and upmarket place to live. A Manchester based mortgage broker who specialises on getting people agreed for mortgages in Sale is Manchester Mortgages.

Says Andrew Butterworth, broker with mortgage advisor Manchester Mortgages in Sale: "With typical property prices ranging from £250,000 up to over £1M there are plenty of different types of house available. There are also many different mortgage products on the market designed to cater for people in differing circumstances".

First time buyers tend to not live in Sale due to the property prices, instead they choose Stretford as it's far more affordable. Remortgaging is popular in Sale, where over the last 10 years house prices have risen by 10%-30%. This gives people plenty of scope to remortgage their property and make improvements such as extensions and refitting rooms.

Moving to Sale is popular and there are plenty of mortgage brokers who will advise on the best mortgage product for you. Those people will a poor credit score will find it more difficult to raise money to buy a house but it is possible - you just need to find the right broker.

"Educationally, Sale comes under the Manchester borough of Trafford - there is a good choice of schools available too. This make Sale a very popular area to live", continued Andrew.

Attention house buyers and remortgagers, if you are wanting to buy a house or remortgage your property and it's in the Manchester areas of Swinton, Eccles or Boothstown then this post is especially for you.

Mortgage broker Andrew Butterworth from popular local mortgage advisors Manchester Mortgages has put together a special mortgage deal for people and families looking to move to these three areas.

Take a look at this house - ideal for first time buyers in Pendlebury, Swinton. At £130,000 it's affordable and an ideal way to get yourself on the Manchester property ladder. It's properties like this that Andrew is looking to get really good mortgage deals on for clients. Says Andrew: "Buying a house and getting a mortgage in Swinton, Boothstown or Eccles has never been more attractive than it is now."

I asked him why? - "With interest rates soon to go up (see this article from This is Money), Manchester Mortgages can get you a mortgage offer where the interest rate is fixed for five years. With the interest rate currently low, you can beat any rise by getting a mortgage with a fixed rate." he said.

Attention all people looking for a home in a really good area - there's a new housing development being built in Stubbins, Ramsbottom.

The developer is Eccleston Homes and details of the development are up at http://www.ecclestonhomes.co.uk/developments/chatterton-place/.

The development, off of Bolton Road North, Ramsbottom has the BL0 0NB postcode which puts it right in the middle of one of the most affluent and up and coming areas of Lancashire. Situated on the Lancashire / Greater Manchester boarder it has excellent motorway links, local shops and good schools.

As yet I have no details of how much the housing is going to cost but if you bookmark the above site and check back often you should soon learn more details.

If you are interested in buying one of these houses or a similar one in the Ramsbottom / Stubbins area you should also consider the areas of Holcombe, Helmshore and Edenfield. These are 3 villages with quaint charm that have a lot going for them.

If you need a mortgage, then get in touch, there are many excellent mortgage brokers in Manchester who will be able to help you.

Here's a question that recently came into us. The person is looking for mortgage brokers who can secure them a deal in either the Wigan or Bury areas of Greater Manchester / Lancashire.

I'm looking to get a mortgage and wonder if you can help me? I'm wanting to move into the Manchester area - perhaps around Bury or Wigan. I'm a first time buyer and am looking for a mortgage of about £120,000. I have a deposit of £45,000 and wonder if this will be enough?

I'd probably prefer to live in the Wigan area rather than Bury and have found some 3 bedroom houses in the Haigh, Aspull and Tyldesley areas. The prices are above £150 so it's a bit of a stretch but I reckon I should be able to find myself a mortgage broker who can sort me out with a good deal.

I've been reading your blog and noticed that in one post you mentioned Manchester Mortgages. I found a general Manchester portal of mortgage brokers too at http://www.manchester.com/money/mortgage_brokers_advisors.php so I will try the phone numbers on there and look at the web site.

In the meantime if you can get back to me with what criteria you need to find me a mortgage in the Wigan or Bury areas that would be great!
