FAQ

What does Buy to let/IGN offer:
First registered CEMAP 1,2 and 3 in 2002 prior to this members of the MCCB (Mortgage Code Compliance Board). We like to think we assist landlords (first time and seasoned), developers and speculators in offering a newsworthy site along with lender contact details and interactive tools. We are primarily focused towards non regulated lending such as buy to let and HMO mortgages, Bridging loans, development finance and commercial business funding.

Do you arrange mortgages via this site:
No we do not currently offer non regulated mortgages or funding from this site. This site is maintained as a blog and news feed/aggregator. From time to time we will highlight exceptional products but this should not be construed as advice and as always, with any product, remember to check the true cost incl fees, redemption penalties etc.

Are you a Comparison Site:
No we don’t currently have the capacity or the enthusiasm to maintain a comparison site. This site is maintained as a hobby/past time. Comparison sites can be beneficial but impersonal and should ideally be used as a resource to get ‘a feel’ for the market. These sites are not tailored to individuals and like insurance comparison sites there is much negative press on whether the products are beneficial to them or the customer. Many of the products that ‘rise to the top’ are typically only available to those meeting the lender’s full criteria.

Which lenders do you work with:
We consider Buy to Let and HMO lenders along with more diverse lenders for non regulated funding. There are a handful of banks that prefer to work direct with the client such as First Direct, Yorkshire Building Society (YBS), Cumberland Building Society, Chelsea Building Society, Lloyds Bank, Co-operative Bank. Other lenders detailed herewith deal with directly authorised brokers and/or appointed representatives of an independent mortgage network.
