Wigan and Bury Mortgage Brokers, Manchester and Lancashire

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've tried some high street lenders such as HSBC and RBS but there's a ridiculous waiting list of several months. I've seen the house I'd like to buy and I need a decision on whether I can get a mortgage or not - I can't wait for HSBC or RBS - they take too long. Hopefully you can help me find a mortgage? I was recommended to you by a friend who also lives in Manchester.

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!
