What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
HB Partners Mortgage & Protection records 6 areas of advice from its base in London: self-employed, later life / equity release, commercial, 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.
Self-Employed
Self-employed cases turn on how a lender reads your income. Some average two or three years of accounts, some use your latest year, and sole traders, limited-company directors and day-rate contractors are all assessed differently. A firm that does this regularly knows which lenders sit where.

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.

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.
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. 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.
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.

Charges a broker fee
You pay this firm for its advice on top of the lender's product fee, valuation and legal costs. Ask for the amount, the point at which it becomes payable and whether it is refundable if the case falls through — firms must disclose this before you commit. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.

Frequently asked questions
Does HB Partners Mortgage & Protection charge a fee for mortgage advice?
Yes. HB Partners Mortgage & Protection is listed as fee-charging, so you pay the firm for its advice in addition to lender and legal costs. Ask for the exact amount, when it becomes payable and whether you get it back if the application does not complete. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.
What types of mortgage does HB Partners Mortgage & Protection handle?
HB Partners Mortgage & Protection records self-employed, later life / equity release, commercial, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from London. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does HB Partners Mortgage & Protection work with self-employed borrowers?
Yes — self-employed lending is one of the areas HB Partners Mortgage & Protection lists. Have your last two to three years of accounts or SA302s and corresponding tax year overviews ready. The figure you can borrow depends heavily on which lender is used, because they treat retained profit, dividends and contract income very differently.
Does HB Partners Mortgage & Protection only cover London?
HB Partners Mortgage & Protection is listed in London, 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 London 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.
