What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
The Mortgage Hub records 5 areas of advice from its base in Exeter: later life / equity release, help to buy, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential.
Advising on both mainstream residential and later-life lending means the firm can compare a retirement interest-only mortgage against equity release rather than defaulting to one of them.
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.

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. The firm covers first purchases too, so first-time landlords should not be turned away for having no rental history.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
What does The Mortgage Hub charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask The Mortgage Hub 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 The Mortgage Hub handle?
The Mortgage Hub records later life / equity release, help to buy, buy-to-let, first-time buyers and residential, working from Exeter. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does The Mortgage Hub advise on equity release and later-life lending?
The Mortgage Hub 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 The Mortgage Hub only cover Exeter?
The Mortgage Hub is listed in Exeter, 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 Exeter 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.
