1 Jul 2024I had the wonderful pleasure to deal with Simon Hewitt! We set him a big challenge with a shared ownership mortgage with not the best credit history. He was very quick to respond, always so helpful and worked miracles to find us a lender! Could not recommend more! Thank you once again.

19 Jun 2024Can not recommend IFO enough. We had our appointment with Simon Hewitt a few months back and he was absolutely brilliant. We were looking at porting a mortgage and potentially taking out a new one - which we had never done before and we had no idea what we could afford as it all appeared really complicated. Simon took away all the jargon, broke the process down for us, and went through all the different options. It was so helpful, informative, and so reassuring to feel like we had someone on our side. Thanks so much Simon - outstanding service!

30 Nov 2023Simon has been nothing but 100% on hand as soon as I have needed him to discuss our mortgage options. He is approachable, knowledgeable and so helpful. I really appreciate how fast he responds to questions, emails etc. Always available on the phone too. I have never had such an efficient service and I now wouldn’t use anyone else. He was well recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I called up.

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.
