Where cases get harder
Leasehold flats and lender policy
Lease length, service charge, building type and block-specific issues can remove lenders quickly in London if the case is not matched carefully.
Independent Mortgage Broker & Protection Adviser · London
London borrowers need advice
that fits the property, the income
and the lender criteria.
Leasehold flats, contractors, company directors, remortgages and buy to let. We match London clients to lenders whose criteria suit the actual case, not the simplest version of it.
Why lender selection matters in London
London cases become expensive when the lender fit is wrong.
Across London, the property itself often drives the lender search as much as the borrower. Leasehold flats, service charges, higher loan sizes, contractors, bonus-heavy income and time-sensitive chains all make lender criteria far more important than generic rate comparison.
That matters for first-time buyers in Camden or Wandsworth, movers in Ealing or Richmond, landlords buying in East London, and directors or contractors working across the capital. Independent advice helps narrow the market to lenders whose criteria actually fit the real case before an application is submitted.

Speak to an adviserHow we work
Three steps from first conversation to completion.
Step 1
Tell us about the property and your income
We start with the details that matter in London: property type, deposit level, income structure and timeline. That lets us match the case properly before any lender search begins.
Step 2
We shortlist lenders that fit the real case
Leasehold flats, contractors, company directors, higher loan sizes and mixed income all change which lenders fit best. We narrow the market down to the ones that genuinely suit the case.
Step 3
Application through to offer
We manage the application, keep the lender and solicitor aligned, and stay on top of the moving parts through to mortgage offer and completion.
Client reviews
What clients say.
“The process was explained at every stage and nothing was rushed. I always felt like I was being advised rather than sold to. Genuinely could not fault the service.”
“We came to Vsure after a bad experience with another broker. The difference was immediate. Straightforward advice, no jargon, and a mortgage offer in under three weeks. We have already recommended them to family.”
“I had been turned down by my bank and honestly felt embarrassed even making enquiries. Vsure made me feel completely at ease from the very first call. They found us a mortgage we genuinely did not think we would get.”
Common questions
Mortgage questions from London clients.
Yes. Leasehold flats are one of the most common London case types. Lease length, service charge, ground rent, building height and lender policy can all affect the outcome, so lender selection needs to happen before the application is submitted.
Yes. Contractors, company directors and self-employed applicants often need a lender that understands day-rate income, dividends, retained profit or mixed income sources. We match the case to lenders whose criteria fit that structure.
In many cases, yes. A 5 per cent deposit can still be enough for some residential purchases, though a 10 per cent deposit usually opens access to more lenders and stronger rates. The exact options depend on the property, income and borrowing level.
Yes. We help with buy to let purchases, remortgages and portfolio cases across London. Property type, rental stress testing, ownership structure and your wider portfolio all affect which lenders are worth considering.
Yes. We advise London clients by phone and video as well as through direct contact with our team. That usually works well for time-sensitive cases where speed and lender fit matter more than branch-based meetings.
Usually three to six months before the current deal ends. That gives time to review lender criteria, secure a new rate and avoid falling onto a lender’s standard variable rate unnecessarily.
