Industry leading knowledge across residential and buy to let mortgages

At Lansdown Financial Services, we provide you with clear, honest, professional mortgage advice. We keep the jargon to ourselves, and ensure you understand everything, every step of the way.

We offer expert advice in the following areas:-

First Time Buyer

Buying your first home can be a very exciting albeit daunting experience which is why it is important to get the right advice at the very start. There are many different mortgage products to choose from so it is important to get the solution that best meets your needs.

We make sure we keep the jargon to ourselves, and ensure you understand everything, every step of the way. We can ensure you are in the best possible position to view houses, negotiate when you find somewhere you love, and guide you through the process from start to finish

Buying a New Home

Moving up the property ladder can be a daunting and stressful time, with more things to juggle and consider compared to buying your first home. Our advisers will take the stress out of the mortgage application, and ensure you can focus on choosing the new furniture for your home!

Remortgage

Remortgaging each time your deal expires is vital to ensure you never pay a penny more than you need to over the lifetime of your mortgage. There are thousands of products available which our advisers will search through to find you most suitable deal.

Buy to Let

Regardless of whether you are a first time landlord or have a large portfolio of properties, obtaining a buy to let mortgage can be complex and confusing. Lenders have varying criteria and rules, and ensuring you tick every box can be a nightmare.

Fortunately, our advisers have a wealth of experience in buy to let mortgages having advised in this area for many years and owned their own buy to let properties as well.

Couldn’t be more happy with the service, they were so helpful, patient and considerate of my individual circumstances and the actual mortgage application process was so quick, I was amazed!

I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received.

I recently completed a remortgage through Lansdown Financial Services, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From the initial consultation to the final paperwork, the entire process was handled with efficiency, clarity, and genuine care. I’m now on a much better mortgage deal, saving money each month and feeling more financially secure. The whole experience was far less stressful than I expected, thanks to the team’s support and expertise.

OLIVIA

Gives the facts and none of the normal jargon.

Great communication from Tom and Rhianna at LFS. We engaged with Tom back in 2024 and formally instructed him this year. Tom has been informative, transparent and just gives the facts and none of the normal jargon you get from a high street mortgage advisor. Myself and my partner would definitely recommend LFS - great service all round!

We were two very nervous first time buyers and we were made to feel so at ease.

We can’t recommend Aaron and them team enough. We were two very nervous first time buyers and we were made to feel so at ease, no question too silly for them. They were quick to respond and easily contactable, right down to an issue that arose a day before completion, they were around to help us. Thanks so much Lansdown team!

Aaron has gone above and beyond to sort this in a short timeframe.

My wife and I are first time buyers and have been speaking with Aaron to secure a mortgage offer. The process has been fantastic, Aaron is incredibly responsive and takes the time to explain everything in detail. Everything has been straight forward, and Aaron has gone above and beyond to sort this in a short timeframe. We recommend using Lansdown FS to anyone needing mortgage advice!

Exceptional - I don't normally leave reviews but Lansdown FS have been faultless.

Exceptional - I don't normally leave reviews but Lansdown FS have been faultless. From the moment i got in touch I was contacted by Alannah Hall who has dealt with my not so straight forward Mortgage application from start to finish. Alannah has gone above and beyond the extra mile for me in my circumstances to find a good rate, package and was always so helpful in explaining all of my options and finding the time to set up a call to discuss this whilst I have been working away overseas in different time zones. I won't hesitate in future to get back in touch with them again or recommend them both to anyone looking for a mortgage broker in Bath. 10/10

Secured a mortgage offer with a great rate and in record time.

I can’t rate Aaron and his team highly enough! From the first call that we had with him, he has been incredibly professional, responsive and reassuring for us as first time buyers. He has guided us through every step of the process in a super clear way, and we feel that we are in very safe hands. We have just secured a mortgage offer with a great rate and in record time despite some complicated credit history, all thanks to their hard work. I’m so glad we chose Lansdown Financial Services
