Common questions about getting a mortgage in Durham

Can I get a mortgage in Durham?

Yes. Plenty of lenders offer mortgages to people buying or remortgaging in Durham. What matters most is your income, your deposit and your credit history rather than the postcode. An adviser can look at the whole picture and match you with lenders who fit.

How much deposit do I need?

Most residential mortgages start from a five to ten percent deposit, and a larger deposit usually opens up more choice. If you are buying with help from family or a scheme, we can talk through how that works and which lenders accept it.

Do you charge for advice?

Your first conversation is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We explain any fees clearly and up front before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises later.

What if I am self employed or have complex income?

That is very common and it is not a barrier. We work with lenders who understand self employed income, contractors, company directors and less standard earnings, and we help you present your accounts in the way lenders expect.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Needing Advice provides independent, FCA regulated mortgage advice. The guidance on this page is general information and not personal advice. Any recommendation is based on your own circumstances.
