Independent brokers and resources — not us
We're an information site and don't arrange mortgages ourselves. Below are independent brokers who cover buy-to-let, plus free official resources. Every link goes via a tracked /go/ redirect so we can see which resources are useful. See important information for how that works and whether any links are paid.
- Take your Broker Briefing with you
- Check every firm on the FCA Register
Before you proceed with any broker
Check them on the FCA Financial Services Register. Being listed here is not an endorsement or a guarantee of quality, and we cannot promise any lender will accept you. Eligibility depends on your income, credit history, the property and each lender's own criteria, all of which can change. Haven't prepared yet? Get your Broker Briefing first.
