About Acclaimed
Searching and applying for a mortgage can be confusing at the best of times as well as being a very time-consuming task – that’s why we’re here to help. We take away the stress of you having to find the time to research, apply and ensure the whole process runs as smoothly.
We are an established mortgage brokers in the heart of Knowle, a little village just outside Solihull, but we can arrange mortgages nationwide. We provide high-quality, personal advice on mortgages, later life lending (equity release) and insurances. As an independent brokerage, we have access to products throughout the whole of the market which enables us to provide the most suitable deal for our clients’ circumstances. We have been assisting our clients since 2002 and between us, we have a combined experience of over 65 years.
Our continued growth is primarily due to the strong reputation we have established with our lovely clients over the years and their recommendations. We are very proud to say that we have over 250 five-star reviews across Google and VouchedFor.
Each of our clients is treated as an individual and we never take the approach that ‘one size fits all’. We are not only tenacious in wanting to secure the mortgage for our clients, but also delivering the most appropriate products to fit individual circumstances for both now and future aspirations.
Mortgages and Insurances come hand-in-hand and so as a part of our mortgage service we offer an insurance review free of charge. We want to ensure that you, your family and your investments are fully protected, so having the appropriate insurances in place will help ease the financial strain on you and your loved ones in a time of need.
We believe that the key ingredient to doing this job to the best of our ability is really caring about the needs of each individual. We are always there for clients even after their transaction has completed and we go above and beyond to ensure we get them what they need.
Why Choose Us?
Tailored Approach
We provide tailored advice that is right for an individual’s current needs and future aspirations; we pride ourselves in our bespoke service. Your mortgage is potentially the single largest financial commitment you will make and we want to make sure any advice that we provide will ensure your mortgage isn’t a burden to you. By using our mouth and ears in the proportions they were given to us, we will learn more about your goals and objectives to ensure the advice we provide will always be tailored to your circumstances.
Why we are different
Looking after you is of paramount importance. We’re on hand even when your mortgage transaction has completed should you need to discuss anything further or your circumstances change. We will also remind you when your current deal is due to expire so you can prepare for the next step.
Award Winning
We are proud to have won the prestigious Equity Release Awards four times and our director, Sandy, has since became a judge for the awards.
We care about our clients, and never want them to feel pressured into releasing equity. To this end, our meetings are free and without obligation, we will meet with clients and after completing a Fact-Find we will arrange a follow-up meeting to present our recommendations. If a client doesn’t wish to proceed, no fee is payable. We will never advise a client to proceed with releasing equity if we don’t feel that it’s in their best interest.
Mortgages, Later Life Lending (Equity Release), Protection and more!
First Time Buyer Mortgage
As this is one of the biggest financial commitments that you are likely to make, we need to ensure that it’s the right one for you. We have lots of tips and downloads for our first-time buyers to help you plan for the big step onto the property ladder.
Home Mover Mortgage
If you are looking to move home and want to see how much you can borrow, together with the associated costs of moving, then look no further. We will calculate what you can afford to borrow to ensure that you can meet your repayments comfortably.
Remortgage
A remortgage is when you decide to change your existing mortgage deal. Switching your lender for a lower interest rate can save you substantial amounts in monthly payments or can reduce your mortgage term by years. If you’re instead looking to capital raise, this can be a great way to consolidate debts or even make home improvements.
Green Mortgages
As all markets evolve to help reduce global warming, the property market follows. If you have a property with a strong energy performance rating, then you may be eligible for a preferential interest rate. We have access to multiple lenders who offer ‘Green Mortgages’ and allow you to utilise your energy efficient property to your benefit.
Later Life Lending(Equity Release)
Releasing equity is a tax-free way of releasing money that is tied up in the property you own, or potentially wish to purchase. These funds can be used as you wish. We are members of the Equity Release Council, and with that comes the assurance that any products we recommend will be covered by all the Equity Release Council guarantees.
Income Protection
How long would you be able to sustain your outgoings in the event you were unable to work due to accident or injury? For many, this is not as long as they might think. This is why income protection is incredibly important in protecting both you and your family, by enabling you to manage your monthly outgoings and focus on your recovery.
Buy to Let Mortgages
These types of mortgages are for Landlords and investors, who are looking to purchase or remortgage properties for residential rental purposes. Products for this type of lending have grown exponentially over the years, and we can arrange mortgages for both individual landlords and Limited companies.
