Specialist mortgages

Whether you're self-employed, have adverse credit or need an interest-only or guarantor mortgage, learn more and see how we can help

What is a specialist mortgage?

There's no "one size fits all" mortgage, and you may require a specific mortgage type for your needs. Whether you have adverse credit, want to use a guarantor, or are looking to rent out a property, this is where specialist mortgages come in.

A specialist mortgage is a type of mortgage that's designed to cater to specific or unique circumstances that may not be accommodated by traditional mortgage products.

You may want to look at specialist mortgage options if you:

  • are renting out your property

  • have bad or adverse credit

  • are self-employed

  • are using a guarantor to help support you buying a home

Learn more in our specialist mortgage guides and see how we can help.

Specialist mortgage lenders

When you have specialised mortgage needs, you may find that not all lenders on the market can cater to you.

Fortunately, there are plenty of different types of specialist lenders available to help you get the right mortgage so you can buy your dream home.

How are specialist lenders different?

Specialist lenders can differ from high street lenders by offering:

  • less strict lending criteria

  • bespoke mortgage deals

  • tailored underwriting

  • specialised knowledge and advice
