Free Mortgage Broker in Cheltenham

We hear this question more than almost any other. If there’s genuinely no fee, what’s the catch?

There isn’t one.

You won’t be charged for the advice, the application work or anything in between. When a mortgage completes, the mortgage lender pays the broker a fee. That’s how the industry works. Some firms charge their clients on top.

We don’t.

And the lender paying us makes no difference to the rate or deal you get.

Mortgage Advice in Cheltenham from YesCanDo Money

At YesCanDo Money, we keep mortgage advice straightforward and practical. Mortgage rates move and lender criteria shifts, sometimes quickly. What worked for someone buying in Cheltenham a few months ago might not apply today, so we look carefully at the property, the borrowing and how lenders are assessing cases right now.

Cheltenham has a mix of housing that mortgage lenders treat differently. Modern developments on the town’s edges are usually the most straightforward to place. Regency properties in Montpellier and Bayshill, period apartments in conservation areas, converted flats in listed buildings and village properties in Prestbury and Charlton Kings can all bring additional scrutiny around construction type, listed status, lease details or location. Before submitting anything, we make sure the property and borrowing fit the lender’s criteria properly.

You won’t pay us a fee. All mortgage brokers are paid by mortgage lenders when a mortgage completes. Some firms charge clients on top. We choose not to. We’re also FCA regulated, which means the advice we give is held to the highest professional standards.

When you’re ready, we handle the mortgage application, the paperwork and the lender contact so the process keeps moving. If you’re moving home, we can also compare porting your current mortgage with switching lender so you can see the real difference.

You focus on the property. We’ll deal with the mortgage.

What you can expect from us

Choosing the right mortgage broker makes a difference to how the whole thing feels. People in Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire often mention the same things when they talk about working with us, so here’s a sense of what you can expect.

Access to the wider mortgage market

We work with high street lenders and specialist lenders that only accept applications through brokers. Some deals simply aren’t available if you go directly to a bank, and in Gloucestershire that access can make a real difference.

Clear, straightforward advice

We explain how a mortgage lender is likely to view your application and what’s genuinely achievable before anything is submitted. No jargon, just a clear picture of what’s realistic.

We handle the paperwork

There’s more admin in a mortgage than most people expect. We complete the forms, respond to lender requests and keep things moving so you’re not left chasing or trying to decode lender correspondence.

Matching you with the right lender

Different lenders assess income and property in different ways. We do the work upfront to find where your application fits best, which reduces the risk of delays, unexpected queries or a decline further down the line.

Updates as things progress

We keep you informed at every stage so you always know where things stand. If a decision has been made or something needs your input, you’ll hear from us straight away rather than having to ask.

Flexible appointments

We work around your schedule with phone calls, online meetings or WhatsApp. Most clients never need to meet us face to face and it makes no difference to the service they receive.

What Our Cheltenham Clients Say About Us

With 1,500+ five-star reviews on Trustpilot, we’re ranked among the top 10 mortgage brokers in the UK. That doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from taking every case seriously and making sure every client feels looked after from the very first conversation right through to completion.

Our Cheltenham Mortgage Services

At YesCanDo Money, we help buyers, homeowners and landlords across Gloucestershire with clear, fee-free mortgage advice. Whether you’re buying a Cotswold cottage, a period townhouse or a modern family home, we focus on finding what genuinely fits both the property and your circumstances.

First-time Buyer Mortgages Cheltenham

Getting your first mortgage in Gloucestershire can feel like a lot to take in. We break it down, explain what lenders are actually looking for and handle everything from the initial research through to the mortgage offer landing in your inbox.

Remortgage Services in Cheltenham

If your current deal is ending or you just want to know if you’re on the right rate, we search across 99+ lenders and handle the switch. It costs you nothing and takes the legwork off your plate entirely.

Moving Home Mortgages in Cheltenham

Moving home in Gloucestershire often means deciding whether to port your existing mortgage or switch to something new. We compare both options across the market and manage the application so you’re not juggling the mortgage on top of everything else a move involves.

Buy-to-let mortgages Cheltenham

Gloucestershire’s rental market is strong, particularly in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Rental income, lender criteria and application structure all need to be right from the start, and that’s exactly what we focus on.

Bad Credit Mortgages Cheltenham

A missed payment or an old default doesn’t close the door on a mortgage in Gloucestershire. We look at the full picture rather than just a credit score and work with lenders who take a more considered view of what’s on your file.

Mortgage Protection Services Cheltenham

A mortgage is a long term commitment and a lot can change. We advise on life cover, critical illness cover and income protection so that if something unexpected happens, your home and finances aren’t left exposed.

Our Cheltenham Mortgage Case Studies

Our team goes above and beyond for our customers. Below are some examples of real situations on how we helped people get a mortgage in Cheltenham

Case Study 1 – First-Time Buyers in Leckhampton, Cheltenham

The situation

A couple had an offer accepted on a two-bedroom new-build apartment in Leckhampton for £295,000. They had a £20,000 deposit saved and were working to a developer deadline with other buyers interested in the same block.

The challenge

The developer was offering a deposit contribution incentive which some mortgage lenders treat as a reduction in the effective deposit, pushing the loan-to-value into a range where fewer lenders were comfortable. The couple had been quoted less favourable terms by their own bank as a result.

What we did

We reviewed the incentive structure, deposit position and both incomes and identified mortgage lenders comfortable with that type of incentive without penalising the loan-to-value. We secured an agreement in principle and submitted the mortgage application for £275,000 on a five-year fixed rate.

The outcome

The mortgage offer was issued within three weeks. The couple met the developer deadline, kept the deposit contribution and paid no broker fee throughout the process.

Case Study 2 – Period Apartment Purchase in Montpellier, Cheltenham

The situation

A buyer had an offer accepted on a two-bedroom period apartment in Montpellier for £320,000. The property was on the first floor of a Regency townhouse within a conservation area, with a remaining lease of 83 years and a listed building designation.

The challenge

The combination of the listed status, the lease length and the conservation area designation meant several mortgage lenders either declined outright or applied conditions that made the purchase difficult. The buyer had already had one application fall through before coming to us.

What we did

We reviewed the lease details, listed status and building condition and identified mortgage lenders comfortable with Regency period properties within conservation areas. We placed the mortgage application with a lender whose criteria fitted the property profile and submitted with a full explanation of the listed status and lease position.

The outcome

The mortgage offer was issued and the purchase completed without further complications. The buyer avoided a second decline and paid nothing for the advice or the application work.

Case Study 3 – Remortgage in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham

The situation

A homeowner in Charlton Kings contacted us as their fixed rate was coming to an end. Their period detached home was valued at around £520,000 with an outstanding mortgage balance of approximately £280,000.

The challenge

Their existing lender had offered a product transfer but the rate was higher than expected given the loan-to-value position. They were also self-employed with two years of accounts and were unsure whether switching lenders would be straightforward given their income structure.

What we did

We reviewed the self-employed income in detail and identified mortgage lenders comfortable with the income structure at the required loan-to-value. We compared the product transfer against remortgage options across the wider market and found a lender offering a lower five-year fixed rate who covered standard legal costs as part of the package.

The outcome

The remortgage completed before the existing deal expired, reducing monthly payments compared to the product transfer offer. The homeowner paid nothing for the broker advice or mortgage application work.

Local mortgage advice about Cheltenham

Buying property in Cheltenham can vary more than people expect. The town has a genuinely distinctive housing market, shaped by its Regency architecture, its reputation as one of the most desirable places to live in the south west and its strong commuter links into both Gloucester and Bristol.

The town centre and inner areas like Montpellier, Bayshill and the Suffolks are among the most sought-after, with Regency terraces, period apartments and elegant townhouses commanding significant premiums. Prestbury to the north is consistently popular with families, offering a village feel within easy reach of the town. Charlton Kings to the east attracts buyers looking for period properties and good schools, while Leckhampton and Shurdington to the south offer a mix of established housing and newer development. Up on the hill, Battledown and the Hatherley areas attract buyers looking for larger detached homes in quieter surroundings.

That mix can affect how a mortgage lender assesses a property.

Regency properties and period apartments in the town centre can raise questions around construction type, lease length and listed status, as many of Cheltenham’s finest streets sit within conservation areas or contain listed buildings. Converted flats in period buildings can bring additional scrutiny around building condition, service charges and lease length. New builds on the town’s expanding edges can come with developer incentives that affect the loan-to-value position. Properties in surrounding villages can narrow lender choice depending on construction and location.

Prices in Cheltenham reflect its desirability. One-bedroom flats typically start from around £160,000 to £200,000, while family homes in popular areas like Charlton Kings or Prestbury commonly sit between £350,000 and £600,000. Regency townhouses and larger properties in the most sought-after streets can go considerably higher. Many mortgage lenders cap borrowing at around 4.5 times income, although some will stretch further depending on profile and employment type.

Cheltenham’s mainline rail links into London Paddington, its festivals, its racecourse and its reputation as one of the UK’s most cultured towns continue to drive strong and consistent demand from buyers across the country.

Knowing Cheltenham helps. Knowing which mortgage lender will accept the property and borrowing structure is what really makes the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay a fee for mortgage advice in Cheltenham?

No. Our mortgage advice and application service is completely fee-free. We're paid by the mortgage lender when your mortgage completes, which is how most brokers are funded. Some firms charge their clients on top of that. We don't, and it makes no difference to the rate or deal we find for you.

Are you FCA regulated?

Yes. YesCanDo Money is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This means the advice we give is held to the highest professional and regulatory standards, and you have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you ever have a complaint.

Are you whole of market?

Yes. We compare mortgage products from more than 99 lenders, including high street banks and specialist lenders that aren't available if you go directly. That means we're not tied to any single lender's criteria or products and can find the best fit for your specific situation and property.

Can you help with listed buildings and period properties in Cheltenham?

Yes, though these need careful handling. Listed buildings and period properties in Cheltenham's conservation areas can raise questions with mortgage lenders around construction, lease length and listed status. Some lenders are more comfortable with this type of property than others. We check which lenders are likely to be comfortable before submitting anything, which avoids delays and unnecessary declines.

Do I need to use a mortgage broker based in Cheltenham?

No. You don't need a local broker to get good mortgage advice in Cheltenham. We're based in Portsmouth but help buyers and homeowners across Gloucestershire remotely, with everything handled by phone, email and WhatsApp. Most of our clients never need to meet us in person and it makes no difference to the quality of the advice or the mortgage application.

Ready to start your mortgage process? Contact us

If you’re buying or remortgaging in Cheltenham the starting point is a conversation. We talk it through, look at what’s realistic, and explain the options before anything moves forward. There’s no charge for that initial discussion. If it makes sense to proceed, we handle the application and the lender side through to offer.

What’s next?

1. We talk it through

We start with a short call to understand your situation and what you’re looking to achieve. Income, deposit, the property and anything that might affect mortgage lender choice, including any listed, rural or non-standard elements common in Gloucestershire. From there, we give you a clear picture of what’s realistic.

2. We find and secure the deal

We search across the market, including mortgage lenders you can’t reach by going direct. Once you’re happy with the recommendation, we secure the rate, arrange an agreement in principle and submit the full mortgage application.

3. We see it through to completion

When the mortgage lender is satisfied, they issue the formal mortgage offer. We stay involved right through to completion, and if a better rate becomes available before that point we’ll look at whether switching makes sense.

Local mortgage expertise in Cheltenham

Cheltenham is one of the most beautiful towns in England and its property market reflects that appeal. Regency terraces, period apartments, family homes in leafy suburbs and newer developments on the outskirts all sit within a few miles of each other, and mortgage lenders don’t assess them all the same way.

We work with buyers and homeowners across Cheltenham, placing mortgage applications with lenders whose criteria genuinely fit both the property and the income involved. A listed Regency apartment in Montpellier is a completely different conversation to a new build on the edge of town or a detached home in Prestbury.

We’re a family-run, FCA regulated mortgage broker, not a call centre. You deal with a real adviser throughout, someone who takes the time to understand your situation and works out the best route forward before any paperwork is started.

We also think ahead. Cheltenham property holds its value well and demand stays strong. If you’re planning to move up the ladder, let the property out later or expect your income to change, getting the right mortgage structure in place now makes those future plans considerably simpler.

It’s not just about the rate. It’s about placing your mortgage with the right lender from the beginning.
