Mortgages
We offer a free initial enquiry to all
prospective clients. Many mortgages are handled on a no-fee basis although
we may charge a fee, particularly on smaller or more complex cases. If you are
re-mortgaging, looking at buy-to-let, a first-time buyer or buying your
next property, or if you require a commercial mortgage, just call 08700
427 900 to speak to a mortgage specialist,
or use the Feedback Form to give the basic details of your enquiry and request a
callback.

Why Bates?
Buying a home may well be one of your biggest financial commitments. It
can also seem one of the most daunting. There are hundreds of lenders, and
thousands of offers, to choose from. There are repayment, interest-only,
endowment, pension-linked and ISA mortgages. These can have interest rates
which are fixed, variable, capped, collared and capped, discounted,
tracker or cash-back. With all this to compare and contrast, how can you
be sure of making the right choice?
The answer is to use Bates. Our highly experienced and skilled
mortgage specialists will take the time to get to know your circumstances,
objectives and preferences. Being independent, we really do research the
entire market, using sophisticated I.T. systems, to find the most
appropriate mortgage for you.
