Pioneer Mortgage Services

Mortgages

Understanding the different types of mortgages can often be a complicated and frustrating process. Our team of independent and experienced mortgage advisers are here to help support and guide you with whatever your individual mortgage needs may be

New Build Mortgage

We specialise in providing leading UK house builders with a tailored service specific for their needs, 7 days a week. We only use independent mortgage advisers and no call centers, to provide a personal and dedicated service. Using our extensive knowledge of the new build market and house builder’s schemes such as part exchange and assisted sale, we can help secure your property reservations

New build mortgages can seem a complex market but our advisers specialise in new build property purchases. Where new build developers are offering incentives we will confirm that your mortgage provider is happy with the finances involved to ensure that you secure the deal being offered to you

We also work with the new build developer to ensure your mortgage product is eligible for your chosen property. For example, if your new build property is not ready for 12 months, we have access to lenders, that offer mortgage extensions and can provide a 12 month mortgage offer

We also have access to a range of new build rates that are exclusive and are not available on the high street. Lenders have sightly different criteria and set of mortgage products for new build and second hand properties and it is important your adviser can describe the differences to you

We can also look at porting your current mortgage to a new property if that is required

Second Hand Property Mortgage

We also partner with some of the UK’s largest estate agents and have vast experience in the second-hand market. Whether you are a first-time buyer or in a complex chain our advisers are here to help

The second hand market can also be as complicated as the new build sector, again you will need specialist advice to help you navigate this

Lenders have a whole different criteria and set of mortgage products for new build and second hand properties and it is important your adviser can describe the differences to you

We can also look at porting your current mortgage to a new property if that is required

Shared Ownership Mortgages

Shared ownership is a scheme aimed at allowing buyers to purchase a property at a percentage of the full market value which reduces your deposit requirement and your monthly payments. For the remaining share of the property you do not own, you will pay rent to the housing association

We specialise in all of the current housing schemes in operation and shared ownership is a great way of buying a property at an affordable price. Our expertise in this area can aid you in getting a mortgage with a specialist shared ownership product and we can advise you on the total monthly rent, service charge and mortgage payment associated with shared ownership

We also work with some of the largest housing associations in the country and have a firm understanding of how they operate and we work closely with them to secure your property

Moving forward, we will be here to help you purchase more of the property in the future, through a process called staircasing, whereby you purchase more of a share and reduce the percentage owned by the housing association and reducing the amount of rent you pay

To be eligible for the shared ownership scheme you must earn less than £80,000 per year

Remortgage

Is your current mortgage deal coming to an end ? In times such as these it has never been more important to speak to an adviser and compare the market

Our advisers will help you secure a mortgage product now ready for when your current deal ends and if the rates drop we will happily switch you to the lower rate

Remortgaging does not need to be stressful, our advisers are on hand to assist with a cost effective, smooth remortgage process

Buy to Let

Buy to let mortgages are specific to properties that are intended to be rented out. We specialise in buy to let mortgages for apartments, houses and many different types of properties including holiday homes and second homes

Buy to Let for Portfolio Landlords

You may be a landlord already and are looking to purchase your next buy to let or remortgage your current portfolio. We have access to lenders who can look at your next purchase, an individual remortgage or even your whole portfolio at once

Let to Buy

Let to buy is renting out your current property, perhaps with an equity withdrawal to help in the purchase of your next home. We can help find the most suitable lender for you at a competitive rate

Individual Buy to Let

You may be a first time landlord looking to make the first steps in creating your portfolio, or simply purchasing a property to let out short term. There are some restrictions for first time landlords in the market and we will help you navigate around them

First Homes

We specialise in all of the current housing schemes in operation and First Homes is aimed at getting people onto the property ladder. If you’re a first-time buyer, you may be able to buy a home for 30% to 50% less than its market value. This offer is called the First Homes scheme.

You must be 18 or older and earn less than £80,000 per year

Restricted Covenant Section 106

We specialise in all of the current housing schemes in operation including section 106 restricted sale properties

The customer acquires a 100% ownership of the property at a discounted price

The discounted purchase price is provided by way of the property being subject to a “Covenant”, contained in the Section 106/75 planning agreement. This is a restriction to ensure that the “Discount” is always passed on to future buyers

Applicants will purchase the property at a discounted value, for example the property may be valued at £305,000 but will be discounted to 80% giving an actual purchase price of £244,000

The restriction is also in place for any future sale of the property, it must be sold for the same discounted percentage as it was originally purchased at the new current market value

Green Mortgages

If you are buying a property with an energy performance certificate of A or B you may be eligible for a green mortgage. Depending on the lender this can include, and is not restricted to cashback, lower rates of interest and/or free valuations

Different lenders have different requirements on their green mortgages, so do get in contact with us to discuss your options

Green mortgages can be eligible for new build and second hand properties
