What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Bennett-Associates Ltd works across help to buy, buy-to-let and first-time buyers from Maidstone — a focused listing led by help to buy work.
Help to Buy
Help to Buy cases now mostly mean people who already hold an equity loan and need to remortgage, staircase out of it, or sell. The equity loan has to be repaid at the property's current value, not what you borrowed.
Read the help to buy 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. Help to Buy is listed too, which matters if you are buying from someone still holding an equity loan.
