Buying your first home is a significant milestone, and navigating the mortgage market can feel complicated. At Strive Mortgages, we specialize in first-time buyer mortgages, helping you secure the most suitable deal for your circumstances. From understanding how much you can borrow to guiding you through the application and approval process, we take care of everything—making your journey to homeownership as smooth as possible. Our mortgage brokers ensure you access competitive rates and government schemes that could help you get on the property ladder faster.
Moving home is an exciting step, but understanding your mortgage options can be daunting. Should you port your existing mortgage or switch to a new deal? At Strive Mortgages, we analyze your options and help you determine the most cost-effective approach for your move. Whether you’re upgrading to a bigger home, relocating for work, or downsizing, we handle the complexities of the mortgage process—ensuring a seamless transition into your new property while securing the best possible mortgage terms.
If your current mortgage deal is about to expire or you want to release equity from your property, remortgaging could be the right solution. At Strive Mortgages, we search the entire market to find better interest rates, more flexible terms, or mortgage products that suit your changing financial situation. Whether you’re looking to reduce monthly payments, consolidate debts, or switch to a more suitable lender, our expert mortgage advisors will handle the process from start to finish—ensuring you get the most competitive remortgage deal available.
We work with first-time and portfolio landlords to help them secure finance for their next property deal. Buy-to-let mortgage affordability criteria is more stringent than ever, putting a strain on rental margins. Our team of experienced buy-to-let mortgage advisers will assess your financial situation and goals to come up with a solution, including purchasing properties through a Limited Company to offset mortgage interest costs.
Not every borrower fits the traditional lending criteria, but that doesn’t mean you can’t secure a mortgage. If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a contractor, getting approved by high street banks can be challenging. That’s where we come in. At Strive Mortgages, we specialize in securing bespoke mortgage deals for individuals with complex income structures. We also assist professionals such as doctors, teachers, and legal experts in accessing mortgage products tailored to their professions. Our expertise in specialist lending ensures you have access to flexible and competitive mortgage options suited to your financial profile.
If you’re considering renting out your existing home while purchasing a new property, a let-to-buy mortgage is the ideal solution. This allows you to convert your current residence into a rental investment while securing a mortgage for your next home. Managing two mortgages can be complex, but our experienced mortgage brokers will assess your affordability, help you navigate lender criteria, and source the best financing options—allowing you to maximize your property investment potential.
A mortgage is a major financial commitment, so ensuring you have the right protection in place is essential. Unexpected life events can impact your ability to meet repayments, making it crucial to have the right insurance policies in place. We help homeowners to secure comprehensive mortgage protection, including life insurance, income protection, and critical illness cover. Our advisors provide clear guidance on the best policies to protect your home, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.

Posted on Edward HawkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Jack at Strive Mortgages and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was incredibly responsive throughout our search - even as we had to adjust our LTV several times to make everything work. When it came time to submit the application, rates were changing rapidly across all lenders, but Jack moved fast to get everything submitted and lock in our rate before it changed. I also have a fairly complicated income structure, and Jack handled it brilliantly - knowing exactly how to present everything to satisfy the lender. He made what could’ve been a stressful process feel smooth and under control from start to finish.Posted on Andreas ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As first-time buyers, we were looking for a mortgage advisor to help us navigate this process and avoid making any unnecessary mistakes. We chose to use Jack from Strive Mortgages, and we have to say the whole experience working with him has been great. Not only did he help us secure the agreement in principle within hours, walk us through all the available mortgage options, and run the numbers for us, but he also guided us in choosing the right property (by giving us feedback, pointing out details we weren’t aware of, and advising us on what questions to ask). During the first one-hour free consultation he offered, he uncovered that we could potentially be liable for thousands of pounds in extra tax to HMRC due to a mistake we made earlier this year. Since we spotted it early, we managed to get it sorted. So if you’re looking for someone who is super responsive and has been there, done that hundreds of times, Jack is your guy. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.Posted on Quadri AdeoshunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Kiran as our mortgage broker. She efficiently sorted out my remortgage with my mum in just a couple of weeks. The entire process was smooth, and he communicated every step clearly, making everything stress-free. I would highly recommend Kiran’s services to anyone looking for a professional and reliable mortgage broker.Posted on Stephen ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kiran has been professional, supportive and understanding from the start. She guided us through our options, recommended remortgaging, and worked tirelessly to find the best deal. Thanks to her, we can finally plan a future with confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kiran to family and friends.Posted on EricaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend, it wasn’t an easy one, Jack certainly had his work cut out, but went above and beyond and we got there in the end! Sharon also did an amazing job keeping me up to speed, thank you all for your efforts, very much appreciated.Posted on harryjjgrant grantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased our first home and used Strive for our mortgage. The team were always available to answer questions, guided us clearly through the whole process, and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience – highly recommend!Posted on CULT MILKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went with Strive Mortgages through a recommendation and we’re so happy we did! We worked with Greg from Strive who was really helpful, friendly and supportive. Our first time buying experience took so much longer than we’d anticipated due to various properties falling through and Greg was there every time we needed him at no extra expense, which gave us huge peace of mind. If you’re reading this Greg - thank you a million :)Posted on G TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had such a brilliant experience with Jamie and Kiran, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from a mortgage advisor team. Jamie was fantastic from the outset, giving me a clear introduction and background on the process, setting everything up smoothly, and making sure I was confident in the options available. Once things were underway, Kiran took over my case fully and I have to say she has been outstanding. She has done all the legwork for me, guiding me through every step, chasing things up quickly, and making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. What stood out most was how flexible and approachable they both were. They often worked late into the evenings, always kept me up to date, and nothing was ever too much to ask. Kiran in particular has been incredibly dedicated, she really went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. Being able to communicate easily over WhatsApp has also made a huge difference, making the whole process quick and convenient around my busy schedule. I would highly recommend Jamie and Kiran to anyone looking for mortgage advice they’re professional, efficient, and genuinely care about making things as straightforward as possible for their clients. A huge thank you to both of them for all their hard work!Posted on Ariana ArmenakasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time buyers and could not have been happier with Strive Mortgages. This definitely wasn’t an easy case by any means, but Jamie and Jack were reassuring during the whole process. The communication to us was clear and efficient. I will definitely be recommending Strive to future buyers!Posted on Harry BowdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt, responsive, great work.
