First Time Buyer

David talked us through the process, documentation, costs and everything, really! He explained it really well and in language I could understand!
Remortgaging
“My fixed rate mortgage deal was expiring soon. What should I do?”
Centre Court were excellent! Just by running through a short conversation I understood there could be much better options than the staying with my current lender!
Buying your next home
“We needed to move home but didn’t know what we could afford or how it works?”
I now know not all lenders are the same! The advice I had was invaluable and I have now moved to a lovely home I thought was out of my reach.’
Company Directors
“I was told by the High Street lenders that I couldn’t borrow what I need to?” Company Director"
By chatting with David, I was able to move without taking unnecessary drawings from my business and this was very beneficial from a tax point of view! The attention to my personal circumstances was excellent.
Limited Company Buy to Let
“We want a Buy to Let property but we’re really worried about the tax bill!”
I am so glad that David was involved as he worked with our accountant so that we were able to make much better tax plans. We had not even considered this but they showed us a highly tax-efficient way of buying a rental property!
Self Employed and Contractors
“All the big lenders said “No!” they could not decide whether I was employed or self-employed! Centre Court sorted it!"
David was able to place my case with lenders that were able to use my company accounts more favourably and understood my position better.
Home Improvements
"We’d love to extend our property but we’d need to take out a loan and it is so expensive!”
Now we’ve been able to modernise it and add an extension.
Lifetime Mortgages
"At my age I thought it would be impossible to release money from my home"
We had been offered a secured loan but the rates were much higher than we ended up paying by including this into our remortgage.
Stamp Duty and Mortgage Payments
'I’m confused about the total costs of taking out a mortgage – Stamp Duty and the monthly payments. How can I be sure I can afford it? '

Some 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 beforetaking any action. If you are considering releasing equity from your home, you should consider all options available before equity release. The interest thatmay 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 andthe 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 animpact on any potential inheritance. We would also encourage you to invite them to join any meetings with your Financial Adviser so they can ask questionsand join in the decision, as we believe it is better to discuss your decision with them before you go ahead. This is a referral service.
I highly recommend David if you are looking for a mortgage broker that has immense patience and is an expert in his field. David has done many of my mortgages, I have recommended him to family and friends who have all have been extremely satisfied with the service that he has provided. I have found David and Alison approachable regardless how small my query might seem. I would definitely use him again !

Company Directors
Mortgages for Company Directors can be tricky to negotiate. Many lenders do not understand that your real income may be higher than just your salary and dividends. Many company directors pay themselves just a nominal salary for good tax reasons.
This is a complex area, but it’s an area we specialise in. At The Centre Court Partnership we take into account business profit and then add back the salary, to give a more realistic picture of your earnings and income. We will calculate the best mortgage options for you and seek a lender who is happy to lend to clients in your circumstances.
Some lenders simplify this complex issue and do not take the time to understand your business and the tax flexibilities of a limited company. We do! And we will find you a lender who does this too.
Talk to us! Yes, it’s complicated but by no means impossible! We are very experienced in this area and would love to help you find the right Company Director mortgage for your needs.

Sole traders and partnerships also have a different structure from the norm. We have been helping clients with these types of income for many years.
Speak to us. We can find some very competitive mortgage rates for contractors and the self-employed, and we can help you understand the limitations you may face. We can also help you prepare for the mortgage application process so as to maximise your chances of being successful.

Additional Mortgage Borrowing
Additional mortgage borrowing can be a very effective way to fund an extension or other home improvements. You may want to raise some money for other reasons too.
Raising money against your property can be done through your current lender. This is called a ‘Further Advance.’ Or through a loan from a different lender secured against your property. This is called a ‘Second-Charge Mortgage.’ Funds can also be raised through unsecured borrowing.
The most popular method for our clients is to raise the money as a new mortgage with additional borrowing.
We do not offer advice on further advances or second-charge mortgages currently but we can discuss all these options with you and direct you to a suitable professional adviser.

Lifetime Mortgages and Equity Release
Lifetime Mortgages and Equity Release is a growing sector. It is designed to release capital as income or a lump sum, or for both.
Many people have most of their wealth tied up in their property but are unable to borrow because they do not have the necessary income to service the interest on borrowed funds.
A Lifetime Mortgage is usually repaid by the sale of the property when you (or you and your partner if a joint mortgage) pass away or move into long term care. Interest can be paid in regular amounts, or accumulated and repaid from the eventual sale.
The funds freed up by Lifetime Mortgages and Equity Release can be used for any purpose. Ideal for supplementing your income or for gifting to children and/or grandchildren. Helping them on to the housing ladder or to improve their home. Many of our clients have used this option to repay an existing mortgage and reduce their outgoings.
As with any major financial decision, it is vital to obtain professional advice. The Centre Court Partnership is part of the Openwork network of financial advisers and a member of the Equity Release Council. So you can be fully confident in the advice we provide about Lifetime Mortgages and Equity Release.
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 beforetaking any action. If you are considering releasing equity from your home, you should consider all options available before equity release.
