How We Helped Tom and Emma
Client: Tom and Emma
Mortgage Agreed: 19/05/2021
Location: Ashford, Kent
Type of Mortgage: Help to Buy
Tom and Emma came to us after a referral from a previous customer we helped. They were both first time buyers and were living in rented accommodation.
They wanted to go down the Help to Buy route as they had seen a nice new build house in Ashford they liked. They spoke to one of our advisors Andy over the phone, who on the first call found out everything he could about Tom and Emma, their situation and affordability.
Andy then went away in his own time to research what options they would have available and what size mortgage he could get them. After Andy found a Mortgage which matched what Tom and Emma could afford to pay, he called them back to explain what he found and put it into an email so they could go through it in their own time.
When Tom and Emma were ready to complete an application, Andy was there to help them get set up from start to finish.
Let’s just say they are now happy homeowners…
How We Helped Sarah
Client: Sarah
Mortgage Agreed: 01/04/2021
Location: Ashford, Kent
Type of Mortgage: Shared Ownership
Sarah came to us after filling out our online enquiry form online. She was a first-time buyer but couldn’t afford a mortgage on her own.
She spoke to one of our advisors Andy over the phone, to see what options she had available. As she was buying on her own, he recommended a Shared Ownership Mortgage.
Andy then went away and researched what options she had and how much he could get her. She now owns 25% of the house, with the rest being rented through her local housing association.
She now has the option to buy more of the house as time goes on.
Another happy homeowner…

BIG help during Covid19!
During "Corona Lockdown" 2020 I have found the money advice articles from More Than Money to be so helpful. Andy, Sam and Luke have helped us with mortgage holiday advice and just general support. Sam sir you are a legend!

Absolutely brilliant
Andy and Lexy were absolutely brilliant at finding us a mortgage to enable us to relocate to the North. Due to our circumstances, we weren't able to stay with our lender but Andy assured us that he would get us a mortgage and he did.
The communication from both Andy and Lexy was fantastic, and they updated us regularly during the process. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for us.

Totally professional & efficient
More than money has been amazing, They assisted on life insurance for myself and partner - totally professional & efficient. For me It’s better to speak to someone who’s educated rather than use a comparison site that that will over sell the product and the guys at MTM make you aware of everything, as well as being a constant source of support - no ask was too much.

5% Mortgage FAQs
This is the same type of mortgage you would have if you put down a 10% deposit, but instead you can put down a 5% deposit.
This means the lender will cover the remaining 95% of the mortgage.
‘Help to Buy’ (HTB) is a government-backed scheme that was created to give first-time buyers a more affordable way to get onto the property ladder. It allows you to put down a 5% deposit, with an additional 20% loan provided by the government. This means that you’ll only need a mortgage for 75% of the purchase price.
The 20% loan is interest-free for 5 years and is repayable after 25 years – or earlier if you sell your home.
The new shared ownership model has been one of the main outcomes of the government’s pledge to increase affordable housing across the UK, and, like the Help to Buy is an alternative route to getting on the housing ladder.
Instead of getting a mortgage on the whole property, you buy a share, and then pay a mortgage on that share each month. You pay rent on the rest of the property to your local housing association.
You will typically buy 25% or 50% of the house on this scheme.
We are known as whole of market. This means we have access to every bank and lender.
From first initial appointment to move in day, on average this will take around 2-3 months.
No. Our advice fees are only charged when your re-mortgage goes through, if we can’t help you re-mortgage, you won’t pay us a penny.
