We lend on properties located across England and Wales. The minimum property valuation is £100,000. This increases to a minimum valuation of £250,000 if the property to be mortgaged is located within the M25 corridor.

We are unable to accept applications on properties located in Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man.
