I used Jeff & Val to do my mortgages and Later Life/Equity Release mortgage. They were superb and highly efficient. I now have a stress-free life. Thanks so much guys, you don’t know how much you have changed my life and assisted me living a stress-free retirement x

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Jeff and Valerie. As a first-time homebuyer, I’ve had many questions and uncertainties, but they have been incredibly helpful throughout the process. They provided thorough and clear information, patiently answered all my questions, and responded to my emails promptly. Their professionalism has made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable broker.

I consulted Simon Hughes the MD regarding Equity Release and Lifetime mortgages as I needed professional advice on how best to raise additional capital from the equity in my property. This process also involved the potential redemption of an existing mortgage from my bank.
At all times during our discussions Simon acted with the highest level of professionalism, ensuring that all possible alternative avenues were explored and that the timing of any new arrangement was right for me.
He was patient at all times during our discussions and never pressured me to make my decision whilst keeping me periodically updated on changes in the economy at large and the market to ensure I found the best option to meet my needs.
Simon brings a wealth of experience into the advice process and I have now completed the re-mortgaging exercise.
I would have no hesitation whatever in recommending Conran Mortgages to anyone in my position.

Further details on equity release and its impact
The equity in your property is the value of your home minus any outstanding mortgage or other loans secured against it. Historically, the equity of one’s home is passed on as an inheritance upon death, but you may wish to do something with your equity at a time which suits you!
Ultimately, there are three main criteria for this type of mortgage.
We’re aware of the complexities that make mortgages more difficult to understand – luckily we handle the hard parts for you! Call us on 020 8528 2251 or email hello@conranmortgages.co.uk to discuss what’s possible for you.
This releases an initial tax-free lump sum for you to use however you wish. Interest is compounded and added onto the mortgage capital otherwise known as ‘rolled-up interest’.
You receive the initial lump sum, but also you apply for a drawdown facility. You can ‘drawdown’ the remaining cash in stages. You only pay interest once you have drawn the cash meaning that the interest adds up more slowly.
Repay the loan without penalty (subject to criteria), then mortgage a smaller property.
Ring-fence a percentage of your property to ensure loved ones’ inheritance.
Partial capital repayment could be suitable if there’s an inheritance or a future investment matures. This typically allows a capital repayment up to a maximum of 15%.
Make monthly interest payments so that interest doesn’t compound. Providers enable plans to suit you.
If you or your partner have health conditions then it could be possible to release a higher percentage loan-to-value. Qualifying health issues include heart issues, diabetes or high blood pressure.
You have the option of a fixed for life interest rate which guarantees the amount of interest you can pay, whether this is compounded or paid monthly.
As experts in this field, we would typically recommend products which are ‘Equity Release Council (ERC) Approved’. The key benefit of ERC is that there is a no negative equity guarantee meaning that once the property needs to be sold there will not be a debt left for the beneficiaries of your estate to pay. This gives you peace of mind!
How much does a mortgage broker cost in Bromley?
At Conran Mortgages, our advice is completely fee-free. We are paid a commission by the lender when your mortgage completes, so there is no charge to you at any stage. There are no hidden fees.
What areas of Bromley do you cover?
We advise clients across the entire Borough of Bromley, including Beckenham, Chislehurst, Bickley, West Wickham, Hayes, Eden Park, Elmers End and Crystal Palace. We also help clients in neighbouring areas of South East London and Kent.
Can I get a mortgage if I’m self-employed or have bad credit?
Yes. As independent, whole-of-market brokers, we have access to specialist lenders who consider self-employed applicants, contractors, and those with a history of missed payments or CCJs. We assess your situation individually and match you to the most appropriate lender.
How long does the mortgage process take in Bromley?
Timescales vary depending on your circumstances and the lender. A straightforward purchase or remortgage can complete in 4 to 8 weeks from application. We manage the process throughout and liaise with lenders, solicitors and estate agents on your behalf to avoid delays.
What is whole-of-market mortgage advice?
A whole-of-market broker like Conran Mortgages can search across hundreds of lenders, including high street banks, building societies and specialist providers, rather than being tied to a limited panel. This means you get access to deals that are not available by going direct to a bank.
Should I use a mortgage broker or go direct to my bank?
Going direct to a bank gives you access to one lender’s products only. An independent broker compares the whole market, has access to broker-exclusive rates, and handles the administration. In most cases, this results in a better deal and a significantly smoother process, at no extra cost to you.
Rely on our decades of knowledge and navigate your mortgage process for a home in Bromley without stress. Call us on 020 8528 2251 or email hello@conranmortgages.co.uk.
