What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions records 5 areas of advice from its base in Tunbridge Wells: self-employed, help to buy, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential.
Self-employed and buy-to-let together suit business owners buying property, where income evidence and rental stress testing both have to line up.
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.
Read the self-employed guideHelp to Buy
Help to Buy cases now mostly mean people who already hold an equity loan and need to remortgage, staircase out of it, or sell. The equity loan has to be repaid at the property's current value, not what you borrowed.
Read the help to buy 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. With self-employed lending also covered, business-owner landlords should find both halves of the case understood.
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. Help to Buy is listed too, which matters if you are buying from someone still holding an equity loan.
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. Paired with self-employed lending, it should cover employed and variable-income applicants equally.

What does Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions charge for mortgage advice?

What types of mortgage does Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions handle?

Does Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions work with self-employed borrowers?
Yes — self-employed lending is one of the areas Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions 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 Straightforward Advice Mortgage Solutions only cover Tunbridge Wells?
