Residential Mortgages

We start where the high street stops

As one of the UK’s leading specialist mortgage lenders, West One offers a comprehensive range of residential mortgage products to borrowers who are unable to obtain a high street mortgage. Such borrowers often have more complex circumstances and could be rejected by other lenders. But here at West One, you’ll find they are more likely to be accepted because of our personal approach to underwriting and willingness to understand their individual circumstances.

We help borrowers who are homemovers, first-time buyers and those looking to re-mortgage their existing home to improve their mortgage terms or raise capital for almost any legal purpose. Our borrowers' needs are often underserved by the high street, such as self-employed and older applicants. We understand that life is not always straightforward, which means we can consider applications from customers who have less than a perfect credit score.

We know how important it is to be able to talk through a case so you can find the right solution for your clients, which is why our dedicated broker support team are on hand to assist with any new enquiries you wish to discuss, supported by our office based team of highly experienced underwriters.

 

Let us help you get started

Mortgages for most circumstances

We specialise in helping borrowers with complex circumstances to:

  • Move home or purchase their first property. 
  • Re-mortgage to improve their mortgage terms and/or capital raise, often for home improvements or debt consolidation. 
  • Release equity from a currently unencumbered home for almost any legal purpose.

With loan sizes from £25k to £1.5m, repayment terms of 5 – 40 years, fast track remortgage service and multiple product options, we can often help when others can’t.
