What’s the minimum deposit I need?

Most lenders require at least 5%, but putting down more can unlock better rates and lower monthly payments.

Do I need to speak to a mortgage broker?

We can introduce you to a regulated mortgage broker where advice is required. They’ll recommend the right mortgage based on your specific needs.

How long does the process take?

On average, it takes 4 to 8 weeks from mortgage application to offer — but it can vary depending on the lender and legal process. We’ll help keep things moving.

Can I combine multiple pensions into one?

Yes — pension consolidation is common, but depends on your scheme types and if any benefits would be lost.

What if I don’t know where my pensions are?

We’ll help you track them down using pension tracing tools and provider contact checks.

Can I access my pension early?

Generally from age 55 (rising to 57 in future), but early access may reduce your future income.

First-Time Buyers in Canterbury: A 2025 Local Guide

Daniel Russell / July 10, 2025

Buying your first home is an exciting step — and doing it in Canterbury comes with unique opportunities and challenges.

Thank you James for your efficient dealing of our remortgage. The regular communication and easy to follow steps of what you needed or what was outstanding, really helped me, as I had 4 mortgages happening at the same time.

Phil West

James worked tirelessly to get us over the line with a complicated commercial BTL mortgage. Highly recommend.

Paul H

They worked on a recent mortgage for my company and we were very pleased with the result. They managed to jump through a number of hoops caused by our slightly unconventional deal and pulled together a solution better than our expectations. Will be using again!

Luke Silk

Excellent experience when financing a buy to let auction property through James and the team were excellent to deal with and guided us through the whole process with no stress what so ever! Beths knowledge and professionalism is second to none!
