What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Marlow Mortgage Co records 6 areas of advice from its base in Oxford: 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.
Read the later life / equity release guideCommercial
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. On a fee-free listing that removes one up-front cost at the stage you have least spare money.
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.

Fee-free to you
Fee-free means the lender pays this firm a procuration fee on completion, so the advice costs you nothing directly. You still pay any lender product fee, valuation and legal costs. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.

Frequently asked questions
What does Marlow Mortgage Co charge for mortgage advice?
Marlow Mortgage Co is listed on MortgageMatch as fee-free, meaning the broker is paid commission by the lender rather than charging you for advice. You would still pay any lender product fee, valuation and legal costs. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.
What types of mortgage does Marlow Mortgage Co handle?
Marlow Mortgage Co records self-employed, later life / equity release, commercial, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Oxford. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Marlow Mortgage Co work with self-employed borrowers?
Yes — self-employed lending is one of the areas Marlow Mortgage Co 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 Marlow Mortgage Co only cover Oxford?
Marlow Mortgage Co is listed in Oxford, 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 Oxford 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.
