What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Mortgage Winners records 6 areas of advice from its base in Portsmouth: bad / adverse credit, self-employed, commercial, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential.
Covering both adverse credit and self-employed lending is the harder end of the market — those two together are exactly the cases high-street lenders turn away, and they need a broker who knows the specialist panel.
Bad / Adverse Credit
Adverse credit work means the firm places cases that high-street lenders decline — defaults, missed payments, CCJs, IVAs and discharged bankruptcies. Lenders in this space price by how recent and how severe the event was, so the date on your credit file matters more than the amount.

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.
Read the self-employed 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. Adverse credit is also covered, which is the usual sticking point on a first application.
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. Here that runs alongside adverse-credit work, so it covers people a high-street lender has already turned down.
Read the residential guideFees: what this means for you
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.

Questions to ask Mortgage Winners

- 2You are listed as fee-free — does that hold for a case like mine, and what will the lender be paying you?
- 3Given what is on my credit file and when it happened, which lenders would consider me, and roughly how much more will that cost than a high-street rate?
- 4How will lenders read my income — salary plus dividends, net profit, or day rate — and do you work with lenders that use my latest year rather than an average?
- 5What deposit, trading history and security will a commercial lender want from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
- 6How does the rental stress test change what I can borrow, and would buying through a limited company work out better for me after tax?
- 7Do you see clients at your Portsmouth office, or is this handled by phone and video?

Frequently asked questions
What does Mortgage Winners charge for mortgage advice?
Mortgage Winners 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 Mortgage Winners handle?
Mortgage Winners records bad / adverse credit, self-employed, commercial, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Portsmouth. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Can Mortgage Winners help if I have bad credit?
Mortgage Winners lists adverse credit as an area it covers, which means it places cases involving defaults, missed payments, CCJs or an IVA. Bring the dates and amounts from your credit file to the first conversation — specialist lenders price on how recent the event was, so an adviser cannot give you a realistic answer without them.
Does Mortgage Winners only cover Portsmouth?
Mortgage Winners is listed in Portsmouth, 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 Portsmouth 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.
