5 Jun 2025Josh is fantastic at what he does! He is very approachable, professional and from the very start he was there on hand with everything I need to know. Josh got me a really good rate and understood exactly what I needed with being a first time buyer doing this alone. Josh reassured me and took me through every step- I couldn’t have done it without him! If you are a first time buyer or looking to get a mortgage, don’t hesitate and reach out to Josh immediately! Thanks again for all of your help, Amy

31 May 2025We used Josh for purchasing our first home. He is an exceptional mortgage advisor. He is fast and efficient with his responses and getting the job over the line. I can’t thank him enough for making our purchase so much easier, as everyone knows buying a home is stressful and having Josh made it less of an unknown as he talked us through the process with constant updates and reassurance giving us full confidence in his service. I have recommended Josh already and would 100% continue to do so!

UK buy-to-let repossessions have risen by 10% in Q4 2025, with landlords facing higher mortgage repayments due to rising interest rates. Landlords with a £250,000 mortgage face an annual repayment increase of £1,975.

Rents outside London have flatlined for the first time since 2017, potentially impacting landlords. With increased borrowing costs and stagnant rents, landlords could face squeezed profits.

Buy-to-let lending increased by 18.2% in Q4 2025, driven by landlords refinancing existing loans. This led to increased rental yields and lower interest rates, benefiting landlords.
