Mortgage Types

Whatever stage you're at, we'll help you find the right mortgage

From your first home to your fifth buy-to-let, and every aviation career stage in between — here's how we can help.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
First-Time Buyer

Your first step onto the property ladder

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming — from saving your deposit to understanding what you can borrow. We'll guide you through every step, in plain English, and help you avoid costly mistakes.

Talk to us about this

Good if you…

  • You've never owned a property before
  • You're unsure how much you can realistically borrow
  • You're exploring schemes like Shared Ownership or guarantor mortgages
  • You want someone to explain the process from start to finish

We'll help you with

  • Agreement in Principle to check your borrowing power
  • Comparing products from our broad & comprehensive range of lenders from across the market
  • Explaining fees, rates and repayment types clearly
  • Liaising with estate agents and solicitors on your behalf
Next-Time Buyer

Moving up the ladder to your next home

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or just moving somewhere that suits your life better, buying your next home brings its own challenges — chains, timing, and working out the right mortgage strategy. Most people move around the time their current deal is ending, though some prefer to port their existing rate onto the new property — either way, we'll map out the best route for you.

Talk to us about this

Good if you…

  • You already own a property and are ready to move on
  • Your current deal is ending around the same time as your move
  • You're managing a property chain and need certainty on timing
  • You need additional borrowing on top of your existing mortgage

We'll help you with

  • Finding a new deal from our broad & comprehensive range of lenders from across the market, or porting your existing rate if that works out better
  • Structuring additional borrowing for your next purchase
  • Coordinating timelines with your buyer, seller and solicitors
  • Securing an Agreement in Principle to strengthen your offer
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Consolidating debt may reduce your outgoings now, but you may end up paying more overall. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Aviation-Worker Specialist

Mortgages built around aviation pay and rosters

Pilots, cabin crew, ground handlers, cargo agents and airport staff often earn more than a simple basic salary. Most lenders are fine with standard pay like Flight Pay and Night Duty pay — it's more unusual income, like Onboard shift commission, that many high-street lenders struggle to assess properly. We work with lenders who do.

Talk to us about this

Good if you…

  • You're a pilot, cabin crew member, ground handler or cargo agent
  • Your income includes Flight Pay, Onboard shift commission or Night Duty pay
  • You're a cadet or early-career pilot with training bonds to consider
  • You've been declined elsewhere because of how your income is structured

We'll help you with

  • Presenting your full income package accurately to lenders
  • Matching you with lenders experienced in aviation employment
  • Navigating fixed-term contracts, LOSA/type-rating bonds and rosters
  • Explaining how furlough or industry disruption may be viewed by lenders
