What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Mortgage & Life Ltd records 4 areas of advice from its base in Slough: 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.
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.
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. This firm keeps landlord lending separate, so be clear which of the two you need when you call.

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 Mortgage & Life Ltd charge a fee for mortgage advice?
Yes. Mortgage & Life Ltd 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 Mortgage & Life Ltd handle?
Mortgage & Life Ltd records commercial, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Slough. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Mortgage & Life Ltd arrange commercial mortgages?
Mortgage & Life 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 Mortgage & Life Ltd only cover Slough?
Mortgage & Life Ltd is listed in Slough, but UK brokers are not restricted to their own area and most advise nationally by phone or video.
