What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Mortgage Tree works across later life / equity release, buy-to-let and first-time buyers from York — a focused listing led by later life / equity release work.
Later Life / Equity Release
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 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. The firm covers first purchases too, so first-time landlords should not be turned away for having no rental history.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What does Mortgage Tree charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask Mortgage Tree directly, as it must tell you before you commit. 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 Mortgage Tree handle?
Mortgage Tree records later life / equity release, buy-to-let and first-time buyers, working from York. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Mortgage Tree advise on equity release and later-life lending?
Mortgage Tree lists later life and equity release among its areas. This is separately regulated advice and an adviser needs a specific qualification to give it, so ask which one they hold. Ask too about the alternatives — a retirement interest-only mortgage or downsizing may cost your estate far less than a lifetime mortgage.
Does Mortgage Tree only cover York?
Mortgage Tree is listed in York, 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 York 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.
