Independent and experienced mortgage advisors
Every property buyer has a unique financial situation and set of personal circumstances. The mortgage market reflects that, with hundreds of mortgage products on offer. That is why it is so important to shop around.
As independent mortgage brokers, we have access to many high-street and independent lenders. While you may not have the time to search the entire market and check interest rates daily, we do.
First, we will gain a thorough understanding of your circumstances, and then we will approach lenders who offer mortgages to match your needs. After understanding your income, credit history, lifestyle and goals, we can advise on how much you can borrow, based on your deposit and capacity to meet the monthly mortgage payments. As we’re not tied to any particular lender, you can trust our recommendations are in your best interests.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking to get a foot on the property ladder, releasing equity, or simply looking to replace your existing mortgage, we’re dedicated to helping you secure the best mortgage for your needs.

Professional mortgage advice tailored to your industry
We welcome enquiries from all types of property buyers, but we specialise particularly in working with professionals. As a professional, such as a doctor or company director, your income may be high, but it may be structured in a way that some lenders shy away from, including bonuses, overtime, or self-employed earnings. And when you have a busy career, finding time to research mortgages can be challenging.
Our professional clients choose us for our intelligent, proactive, and responsive service in a fast-moving market. We work with doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers, business owners and other professionals to help them find lenders with agreeable lending criteria. Our extensive knowledge and experience in the mortgage industry mean we can often negotiate higher income multiples and secure exclusive deals from both high-street lenders and specialist mortgage companies.

Helping to protect your mortgage and financial future
In addition to being experienced mortgage advisers, we can also provide insurance advice to help protect your finances if something unexpected happens. We can present you with different life insurance options based on your needs, such as income protection and critical illness cover.

At Goldmanread, getting to know our clients is extremely important to us. We are not in the business of offering one-size-fits-all mortgage advice: to find the right mortgage type for you, it’s essential that we understand your personal and financial circumstances. We care about helping our clients and pride ourselves on being a friendly, trusted and responsive partner throughout the entire process.
This commitment to customer service is reflected in our many 5-star reviews, which we invite you to read along with our case studies.

How much you can borrow depends on your income, outgoings, credit history, and the lender’s criteria. Most offer around 4 to 4.5 times your income, but professionals may be able to borrow more based on career progression. A broker can help you understand how much deposit you’ll need, what your monthly payments might look like, and which lenders are most likely to support your application.
