In today's complex mortgage market, finding the right loan can feel overwhelming. At Mortgage Tree, we believe everyone in the UK deserves expert guidance when making one of life's biggest financial decisions. Here's why working with us at Mortgage Tree could be your best move yet.


Access to More Options Than Your Bank

When you visit your local bank, you're limited to their specific mortgage products. As independent mortgage brokers, we have access to hundreds of mortgage products from dozens of lenders. This means we can find options you might never discover on your own, including:

  • Specialist lenders for unique circumstances

  • Exclusive deals not available if you go directly to the lender

  • Tailored solutions for self-employed individuals or those with complex income


Save Time and Reduce Stress

Searching for the right mortgage involves hours of research, paperwork, and negotiations. We handle all of this for you:

  • No need to complete multiple applications

  • One conversation covers your needs rather than repeating yourself to different lenders

  • We chase paperwork and act as your advocate with mortgage lenders, making the process less stressful


Expert Advice Tailored to Your Situation

The mortgage market changes constantly with new regulations, products, and criteria. Our advisors stay up-to-date with these changes so you don't have to. We provide:

  • Personalised recommendations based on your specific circumstances

  • Clear explanations of complex mortgage terms in plain English

  • Honest advice about what you can realistically afford


Understanding Our Fee Structure

Many people have questions about how mortgage brokers are paid:

  • Mortgage brokers typically earn commission from lenders for arranging a mortgage

  • Some brokers charge additional fees, either as a flat fee or a percentage of the loan amount

  • At Mortgage Tree, we're transparent about our fee structure and will explain all costs upfront

  • Our primary goal is finding you the right mortgage solution, not selling you a specific product


Better Approval Chances

Applying for mortgages directly and being declined can affect your credit score. We help you:

  • Apply only for mortgages you're likely to be approved for

  • Present your application in the best possible light

  • Navigate complex criteria that might otherwise lead to rejection

  • This may be particularly useful if your circumstances are less straightforward


Who Can Benefit From Our Services?

Anyone getting a mortgage can benefit from using our services, including:

  • First-time buyers getting a mortgage when buying a house

  • Existing homeowners looking to remortgage, whether staying with your current lender or switching

  • Homeowners wanting to remortgage to release equity

  • Those selling a house with a mortgage and buying a new home

  • Individuals with non-traditional income sources, such as zero-hours contracts or self-employment

  • Investors seeking buy-to-let mortgages for investment properties


Local Knowledge and Personal Touch

As a York-based brokerage, we understand the local property market and lending landscape. We offer:

  • Face-to-face meetings if you prefer

  • Knowledge of local property trends and valuations

  • Community-based service with personal accountability


At Mortgage Tree, we're committed to guiding you through every step of your mortgage journey with clarity and care. Our success is measured by finding you not just any mortgage, but the right mortgage for your unique situation.
