What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Compass Mortgages works across help to buy, buy-to-let and residential from Brighton — a focused listing led by help to buy work.
Help to Buy alongside residential remortgaging fits people trying to clear an equity loan when their initial deal ends.
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.

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.

Can Compass Mortgages help with a Help to Buy equity loan?
Compass Mortgages lists Help to Buy as an area it covers. Most cases now involve getting out of an existing equity loan: it is repaid as a percentage of the property's current value, so if the property has risen you owe more than you borrowed. You will need a RICS valuation before the numbers can be firmed up.
Does Compass Mortgages only cover Brighton?
Compass Mortgages is listed in Brighton, 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 Brighton on MortgageMatch.
