Family is important; that's why it's best to get expert advice to help protect what matters, when it matters!. Thinking about the consequences should anything happen to the main breadwinner isn't something any of us want to contemplate. However it is important when arranging your mortgage to take the time to protect you and your family should the unthinkable happen.
Having buildings insurance is mandatory when taking a mortgage, regardless of whether you're buying a property or remortgaging. It is a condition of every mortgage offer that buildings insurance is in place. Aside from the mandatory aspect, insuring your property and contents is important. Imagine having to rebuild your property or replace all of your contents following a flood or fire.
Whether you're becoming a landlord for the first time or you're looking to expand an existing portfolio you will need to take out a buy to let mortgage rather than a standard residential mortgage. A buy to let mortgage is specifically for people who are buying a property to rent out to a tenant or tenants.

BR Needham were extremely helpful & kept us informed throughout the process. Simone has supported us with six mortgage applications now, for both our own homes & buy to let properties and everything always went very smoothly. We would highly recommend their services and will most definitely be using them again in the future!

I cannot recommend Chris enough. My partner and I were first time buyers, had lots of questions about the process and Chris was so helpful - even when it wasn’t his job to give the advice ! He is personable and very reassuring. He got us a great mortgage deal and we are very thankful for his help in buying our first home! Thanks again Chris.

Although we'd owned our 1st house for 10 years, when it came to making the next step on the property ladder, we were pretty clueless in terms of our mortgage options when moving again last year. Chris' knowledge of the mortgage market was invaluable, giving us different options to suit our requirements, ensuring we had enough information to make a balanced decision. We were pretty high maintenance clients too, constantly peppering Chris with questions but he understands that it's a stressful time for everyone (especially in the middle of a pandemic!) and always answered our queries quickly and

Great , proffesional specialist. He answered my phone calls or WhatsApp txt messages 24/7. It was my first buying property transaction, but Chris supported me not only with his big knowledge but cheer me up and psychologically motivated me when I was exhausted and fed up with solicitor incompetence. English is my second language but Chris always was happy to repeat and clarified for me few times to give me peace of mind . He is patient and honest person, and he have contacts everywhere so You know he can find for you the best receipt for your dream house.

As a first time buyer I was totally clueless as to the steps I needed to take with starting the process. Chris was so helpful from the word GO. From my first inial enquiry to actually starting the process Chris was always available to take my calls and questions. When it came to me starting and completing my mortgage process I was passed onto Simone who was nothing but exceptional in her personalised service in making sure I got my mortgage. Anything I needed she was on hand to help and support me I would highly recommend Simone and BR Needham! Thank you again Simone & Chris.

Can’t recommend BR Needham highly enough. We have been fortunate enough to deal with Chris there when purchasing our first home, and when going through our first remortgage process recently. Both times Chris was a huge help and the process was extremely smooth! We ended up changing deals a couple of times during the remortgage process (as new offers came onto the market). This inevitably led to Chris having to repeat some work each time with the new lenders which must have been frustrating, however Chris was more than happy to help and explore whatever options gave the best possible outcome for

Simone from BR Needham has been an amazing advisor throughout the process of searching, securing and seeing through a mortgage agreement on our first home.
Simone was approachable, professional and knowledgable about the options she presented to us, and we are very happy with the mortgage we managed to secure with her help. Highly recommend.
