What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd records 4 areas of advice from its base in Milton Keynes: later life / equity release, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential.
Advising on both mainstream residential and later-life lending means the firm can compare a retirement interest-only mortgage against equity release rather than defaulting to one of them.
Later Life / Equity Release
Later-life lending and equity release are separately regulated and have long-term consequences: interest can roll up against the value of your home, and it changes what is left in your estate. Advisers need a specific qualification to recommend it.
Read the later life / equity release guideBuy-to-Let
Buy-to-let borrowing is capped by a rental stress test rather than by your salary, and the sums differ sharply between personal ownership and a limited company. Portfolio landlords with four or more mortgaged properties face extra underwriting. The firm covers first purchases too, so first-time landlords should not be turned away for having no rental history.
Read the buy-to-let guideFirst-Time Buyers
First-time-buyer work means walking someone through it from scratch: what deposit is realistic, what an agreement in principle is worth to an estate agent, which schemes still exist and what lenders will ask to see. On a fee-free listing that removes one up-front cost at the stage you have least spare money.
Read the first-time buyers guideResidential
Standard residential advice covers buying, moving and remortgaging on your own home — the bulk of UK mortgage lending, and the area where switching deal at the right moment usually saves the most. Sitting next to later-life lending, it means the same firm can weigh a standard remortgage against a retirement product.

Fee-free to you
Fee-free means the lender pays this firm a procuration fee on completion, so the advice costs you nothing directly. You still pay any lender product fee, valuation and legal costs. Buy-to-let and limited-company cases are often charged differently from residential ones — ask which bracket you fall into.

Frequently asked questions
What does Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd charge for mortgage advice?
Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd is listed on MortgageMatch as fee-free, meaning the broker is paid commission by the lender rather than charging you for advice. You would still pay any lender product fee, valuation and legal costs. Buy-to-let and limited-company cases are often charged differently from residential ones — ask which bracket you fall into.
What types of mortgage does Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd handle?
Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd records later life / equity release, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Milton Keynes. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd advise on equity release and later-life lending?
Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd lists later life and equity release among its areas. This is separately regulated advice and an adviser needs a specific qualification to give it, so ask which one they hold. Ask too about the alternatives — a retirement interest-only mortgage or downsizing may cost your estate far less than a lifetime mortgage.
Does Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd only cover Milton Keynes?
Barfield Mortgage Services Ltd is listed in Milton Keynes, but UK brokers are not restricted to their own area and most advise nationally by phone or video. You can also compare other mortgage brokers in Milton Keynes on MortgageMatch.
MortgageMatch is a directory, not a broker. We do not give advice. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
