What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Community Mortgage Services Ltd works across buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential from Manchester — a focused listing led by buy-to-let work.
Buy-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. This firm keeps landlord lending separate, so be clear which of the two you need when you call.

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 Community Mortgage Services Ltd charge for mortgage advice?
Community 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 Community Mortgage Services Ltd handle?
Community Mortgage Services Ltd records buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Manchester. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Community Mortgage Services Ltd arrange buy-to-let mortgages?
Yes — buy-to-let is one of the areas Community Mortgage Services Ltd lists. How much you can borrow is set mainly by the rent the property will achieve against a lender's stress rate, not by your income. Ask about limited-company lending too, since the tax treatment differs and the rates usually do as well.
Does Community Mortgage Services Ltd only cover Manchester?
Community Mortgage Services Ltd is listed in Manchester, 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 Manchester 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.
