What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Louis Daniel works across buy-to-let and first-time buyers from Leeds — 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.

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.

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. Buy-to-let and limited-company cases are often charged differently from residential ones — ask which bracket you fall into.

Frequently asked questions
Does Louis Daniel charge a fee for mortgage advice?
Yes. Louis Daniel is listed as fee-charging, so you pay the firm for its advice in addition to lender 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 Louis Daniel handle?

Does Louis Daniel arrange buy-to-let mortgages?
Yes — buy-to-let is one of the areas Louis Daniel 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.
