What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Derwent Mortgages Ltd records 4 areas of advice from its base in York: 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What does Derwent Mortgages Ltd charge for mortgage advice?

What types of mortgage does Derwent Mortgages Ltd handle?
Derwent Mortgages Ltd records later life / equity release, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from York. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Derwent Mortgages Ltd advise on equity release and later-life lending?
Derwent Mortgages 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 Derwent Mortgages Ltd only cover York?
Derwent Mortgages Ltd is listed in York, 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 York 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.
