What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd records 5 areas of advice from its base in Stevenage: commercial, help to buy, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential.
Running commercial alongside buy-to-let usually points at landlord and business-owner clients — semi-commercial units, HMOs and portfolios rather than single flats.
Commercial
Commercial mortgages are underwritten case by case rather than from a rate table. Lenders look at the trading business behind the purchase, the property type and your experience, and terms are negotiated rather than advertised.
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. Alongside commercial lending, that points at semi-commercial units and HMOs rather than single flats.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What does GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd directly, as it must tell you before you commit. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.
What types of mortgage does GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd handle?
GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd records commercial, help to buy, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Stevenage. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd arrange commercial mortgages?
GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd lists commercial lending as an area it covers. Commercial terms are quoted case by case, so expect to share business accounts, details of the property and your trading history before anyone gives you a rate. There is no published rate to compare against, which makes broker access to lenders more important than on a residential deal.
Does GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd only cover Stevenage?
GKL Mortgage Brokers Ltd is listed in Stevenage, but UK brokers are not restricted to their own area and most advise nationally by phone or video.
