Think carefully before securing other debts against your property. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Most buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
A Lifetime Mortgage is not suitable for everyone and may affect your entitlement to means tested benefits so it is important to seek financial advice before taking any action. If you are considering releasing equity from your home, you should consider all options available before equity release. The interest that may be accrued over the long term with a Lifetime Mortgage may mean it is not the cheapest solution. As interest is charged on both the original loan and the interest that has been added, the amount you owe will increase over time reducing the equity left in your home and the value of any inheritance, potentially to nothing. Although the final decision is yours, you are encouraged to discuss your plans with your family and beneficiaries as a Lifetime Mortgage could have an impact on potential inheritance. We would also encourage you to invite them to join any meetings with your financial adviser so they can ask questions and join in the decision, as we believe it is better to discuss your decision with them before you go ahead.

Money and Mortgages have just helped me arrange a remortgage position in what was a complicated debt consolidation situation. At all times they were honest and were always there if I needed advice or reassurance either on the phone or via email. Luke, Matt and Jade are friendly, attentive yet professional people who get the job done. Thanks x
Sarah R.
Money & Mortgages have been very helpful with looking into rates for our mortgages for the last couple of renewals. Jades has been brilliant, she is very knowledgeable and has taken the stress out of finding the ideal mortgage offer for us.
Christopher A.
I’ve used Money and Mortgages UK for arranging remortgages and porting our previous mortgage for the last 3 years and have always been exceptionally impressed with their services.
Jade is very friendly and knowledgeable and find her great to work with. Would highly recommend, and will definitely work with again.

We were recommended to use Luke for several remortgages. This turned out to be a huge mistake. He repeatedly didn’t respond to emails or phone calls, told us he would get back to us and then just went silent. He told us an application had been made and 2 months later nothing has happened. We have since gone to another mortgage advisor who actually knows how to reply to emails and respond and complete the paperwork. The whole experience has been very poor and if Luke is not capable of doing the job, he should have passed our details to a colleague. He has let us down and his employers.
Kyle N.
I wish I was leaving a far better review here but unfortunately our experience has been extremely poor. We started our first time buyer mortgage process with Luke back in September - we couldn’t fault him at all at the time. November soon came around and after waiting for some things to clear (on our end), Luke went radio silent. Multiple emails and texts were sent with no response. We managed to get back in contact with Luke via calling on his mobile to which he implied he was going to proceed with what we needed over the next couple of days - this never happened. We contacted him again to which he said it would be the same day - again this never happened. We are now 2 weeks later and haven’t heard a further word from Luke. We have had to opt for another mortgage advisor which has unfortunately now delayed our whole application. Not only this, Luke also works closely with 2 other family members of ours, who have also had the same experience.
Jane B.
Always helpful and present. Personal, individual service at all times. Everything explained clearly with accompanying clear and understandable written information. Very proactive if funds need to be obtained quickly. I thoroughly recommend Money & Mortgages UK.

I have known Paul Elliot for number of years during this time he has done few Mortgages and remortgages for me and my other members of the family. He’s been very helpful and also give correct advice. He’s very good at seeking best and better deals for you I must say. I strongly recommend him and his company on Mortgages, Remortgages, and all the financial planning.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jagdish - we really appreciate your custom, time and trouble in leaving this fantastic review, much appreciated.
Warren F.
Helped me get a mortgage on my first property. All questions were answered promptly. Luke was incredibly patient with me as he had to do numerous DIPs for me while I was shopping around over the years.
Was a pleasure working with everybody (Luke, Matt and Kelly)

Response from the owner:Thanks very much for taking the time to post this review, it is much appreciated.
Richard L.
As a first time buyer, I was daunted at the prospect of getting a mortgage. Paul Elliot and his team made it feel like the easiest process in the world. I highly recommend their services. Nothing is too much trouble, responses are almost instant, there is no need to chase them for anything as everything happens like clockwork!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, we appreciate your review and will forward your comments to our team!

Both Paul & Jade were lifesavers throughout our buying process. As first time buyers, we had so many questions and uncertainties and Paul was always on hand to answer anything and was super honest with our options throughout! It was so handy having them do all the hard work behind the scenes for us when applying for our mortgage and we would definitely use them again in the future! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thanks for this amazing feedback! Much appreciated!
Clare G.
Jade and Paul have been brilliant from the start of this process to the end, informing me every step of the way. I can't thank them enough for their guidance and help and I'll be back when my current mortgage deal runs out.

I cannot thank Paul and Jade enough for their help over possibly the longest house purchase ever!
Paul helped us in the process of porting our previous mortgage, over to our new property with some additional borrowing. The process was made so simple and the did all the leg work for us, which was a massive help when you are stressing about the conveyancing process.
Jade was fantastic at keeping on top of solicitors, although they didn’t like responding to her. Jade made sure everything was in place, such as life insurance and got one of her colleagues to arrange home insurance with me, so moving in would be a smooth process.
Paul and Jade are the reason I returned to use money and mortgages and I will continue to use them in the future.
Thank you for helping us buy our dream home.

We have used Money & Mortgages twice over the past few years. First to buy our first home, then when we moved. They were recommended from parents.
Advice and guidence could not have been better nor friendlier. We have always been amazed at how quickly communication went and how thorough the team are.
Highly recommended.

M&M never let us down. We’ve been using their services for 8 years and this time we’re taken good care of by James.
James was an absolute star. Very personable and made the whole process of getting a mortgage for a new property easy. He also managed to switch us onto a fixed rate mortgage for our other property which the bank had previously refused to do when we tried several times prior.
Really can’t speak highly enough of James and the whole Money & Mortgages team. Thank you all.

Kelly J.
I am now a returning customer of money & mortgages. My initial enquiry was a renewal of my buy to let property. Jon was extremely efficient in gaining a fantastic deal to suit our needs. We received support from the first contact to the completion of the product. We then needed to remortgage our own home as our current deal was coming to an end. There was only one company I was going to give my return business to after the excellent service we received the first time around. Once again absolutely exceeded our expectations. Prompt contact with a very competitive new deal which not only cleared the existing mortgage but gave us extra funds to clear some other debts and look at some home upgrades. We received constant phone/email support from Megan who consistently chased the legal firm and kept us fully updated throughout. Absolute 5 star service and I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a professional, personal and prompt service
Response from the owner:Thank-you Kelly, this is awesome feedback. We are delighted that Jon & Megan were helpful & supportive. We really appreciate your loyalty and recommendation, thanks again.
ABIW P.
Have used every time we have done a mortgage or remortgage, Jon explains everything very simply and gets us the best deal, once the offer is received you are then looked after until completion with any issues explained and followed up with the solicitors. Would definitely recommend Money & Mortgages!
Response from the owner:Thank-you for your great review! Much appreciated.

Damiana C.
Jon, Kelly, Megan and Jade are a delight to deal with. They helped with my mortgage back in 2014 and were outstanding with my remortgage in the difficult pandemic years. They are responsive, professional, caring and were the only ones that took the time to help me through a difficult remortgage process. They are hands down the most reliable and trustworthy business I have come across in the UK and I am not sure what I would have done without them. I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank-you so much for your lovely review Damiana, we really appreciate it!
Mark C.
Great service once again from Steve and Megan - very response and even after they've provided their brokerage service, they keep in touch to see how the purchase is going right up until completion. Hoping to be working with you guys again very soon.

My wife and I recently used James Lawton from Money & Mortgages for assistance with our first property mortgage. James went above and beyond what we expected and was always on hand to answer any questions and walk us through the whole process. From our experience, if you want personalised, friendly advice and support whilst buying your first home and navigating the mortgage process as well as, life and critical insurance cover, we would highly recommend James and Money & Mortgages.

I’ve used Money and Mortgages for arranging mortgages and remortgages for over 10 years and have always been exceptionally pleased with their services, professionalism and expertise. Thanks this time to James Lawton for all his assistance throughout my mortgage offer process: he was always one step ahead, kept in touch regularly and explained things clearly. Great service, nice people and fairly priced. I certainly recommend the team here.
Response from the owner:Thank-you!
Jennie G.
Money and Mortgages have been fantastic every step of the way with my mortgage application. As a self employed person, mortgages can be a minefield and Paul was patient and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I was informed at every step of the application, via both email and phone calls. No question went un answered and my understanding of the process has improved immensely with Paul and Megan’s support. I would highly recommend Money and Mortgages if you are looking for a broker( especially if you are self employed) they are reliable , informative and ,most importantly, understanding of individual circumstances. Their help has proved invaluable to me.
Response from the owner:Thank-you!
Andrea R.
I've used Money & Mortgages several times now and the level of service and attention to detail is second to none. They provided me with a detailed search of mortgage options, helped with a complex purchase and communicated clearly with me throughout, proactively chasing parties along the way. I've recommended M&M, especially Paul Elliot and Megan Kittrick to several people now.
Response from the owner:Thanks

I recently opened my first pension with Stephen and couldn’t recommend him enough! With being self employed I really didn’t know where to start. Stephen took the time to go through and explain things in further detail and was always at the end of the phone when I had any questions.
A very trustworthy company, thanks again 👍🏻
