What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
The Mortgage Shop works across self-employed, buy-to-let and first-time buyers from Blackpool — a focused listing led by self-employed work.
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.

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.

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.

Questions to ask The Mortgage Shop
Tailored to this listing.

- 2Do you charge a broker fee? If so, how much, and when is it due?
- 3How 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?
- 4How does the rental stress test change what I can borrow, and would buying through a limited company work out better for me after tax?
- 5What deposit do I realistically need for the properties I am looking at, and which schemes am I actually eligible for?
- 6Do you see clients at your Blackpool office, or is this handled by phone and video?

Frequently asked questions
What does The Mortgage Shop charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask The Mortgage Shop 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 Shop handle?
The Mortgage Shop records self-employed, buy-to-let and first-time buyers, working from Blackpool. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does The Mortgage Shop work with self-employed borrowers?
Yes — self-employed lending is one of the areas The Mortgage Shop 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 The Mortgage Shop only cover Blackpool?
The Mortgage Shop is listed in Blackpool, 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 Blackpool 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.
