Free Mortgage Broker in Bath
Most people ask us this at some point. The advice is free, so what are we missing? Nothing, as it turns out.
There’s no charge for the mortgage advice, the application work or anything that happens along the way. When a mortgage completes, the mortgage lender pays the broker a fee. That’s the standard model across the industry. Some firms also charge their clients on top of that. We don’t. And the fact that the lender pays us has no influence whatsoever on the rate or deal we find for you.
Hi, we’re YesCanDo Money
At YesCanDo Money, we keep mortgage advice straightforward and practical. Bath’s property market is competitive and lender criteria can shift quickly. What worked for someone buying a Georgian flat in Lansdown or a period terrace in Widcombe a few months ago might not be the right approach today, so we look carefully at the property, the borrowing and how lenders are assessing cases right now.
Bath has some of the most varied and complex mortgage scenarios in the south west. Modern apartments on the city’s fringes are usually the most straightforward to place. Listed buildings, Georgian terraces, converted flats and period properties within the World Heritage Site all come with their own lender considerations that need careful handling before anything is submitted. We make sure the property and the borrowing fit the lender’s criteria properly before we go anywhere near an application.
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.
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 know exactly where you stand.
You focus on finding the right property in one of England’s finest cities. We’ll deal with the mortgage.

What you can expect from us
Access to over 99 mortgage lenders
Clear, straightforward advice
We explain what a mortgage lender is likely to make of your application before anything is submitted. That means no surprises further down the line and a clear understanding of what’s achievable based on your income, deposit and the property itself.
We handle the paperwork
The admin side of a mortgage is more involved than most people expect. We complete the forms, respond to lender requests and keep the process moving so you’re not left chasing paperwork 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, unnecessary 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, whichever suits you best. Most clients never need to meet us face to face and it makes no difference to the service they receive.

Our Bath Mortgage Case Studies
Case Study 1 – First-Time Buyers in Oldfield Park, Bath
The situation
A couple had an offer accepted on a two-bedroom period flat in Oldfield Park for £285,000. They had a £25,000 deposit saved and were buying in Bath for the first time, drawn by the area’s good transport links and more accessible prices compared to the city centre.
The challenge
The property was on the upper floor of a converted Victorian house with a remaining lease of 82 years. Some mortgage lenders declined to consider the application due to the lease length, while others would only lend at a lower loan-to-value than the couple needed.
What we did
We reviewed the lease details, building condition and deposit position and identified mortgage lenders comfortable with the lease length and the converted property type. We placed the mortgage application with a lender whose criteria fitted the property profile and secured a five-year fixed rate at the loan-to-value the couple needed.
The outcome
The mortgage offer was issued within three weeks and the couple completed on their first Bath property without any further lease complications. They paid no broker fee for the advice or the application work.
Case Study 2 – Moving to a Georgian Terrace in Lansdown, Bath
The situation
A professional couple were selling their modern flat in Bristol and buying a three-bedroom Georgian terrace in Lansdown for £750,000. After repaying their existing mortgage they had around £200,000 equity to carry forward.
The challenge
The Lansdown property was a category two listed building and some mortgage lenders either declined to lend on listed properties or applied more restrictive criteria around insurance and alterations. The borrowing required also pushed towards the upper end of standard income multiples, which further narrowed the field.
What we did
We identified mortgage lenders comfortable with category two listed buildings and reviewed affordability across those lenders to find one prepared to lend at the required income multiple. We structured the mortgage application clearly and submitted with full details of the listed status and building condition.
The outcome
The mortgage offer came through within two weeks and the couple completed the move to Lansdown on a five-year fixed rate that kept monthly payments within their planned budget. They paid nothing for the broker advice or the application work.
Case Study 3 – Remortgage on a Period Flat in Widcombe, Bath
The situation
A homeowner in Widcombe contacted us as their fixed rate was coming to an end. Their period flat in a converted Victorian building was valued at around £320,000 with an outstanding mortgage balance of approximately £175,000 and a remaining lease of 78 years.
The challenge
The lease length fell below the threshold several mortgage lenders require, which significantly narrowed the remortgage options available. Their existing lender had offered a product transfer but the rate was higher than the best rates available on the wider market.
What we did
We identified mortgage lenders prepared to lend on the remaining lease term and compared the product transfer against remortgage options across the wider market. We found a lender offering a competitive five-year fixed rate who also covered standard legal costs as part of the remortgage 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 the mortgage application work.
Local mortgage advice about Bath
Buying property in Bath is unlike almost anywhere else in the UK. As a UNESCO World Heritage city, Bath’s Georgian architecture, Royal Crescent, Circus and honey-coloured Cotswolds stone terraces are not just beautiful to look at, they come with mortgage considerations that simply don’t exist in most other cities.
The most sought-after areas sit within the city’s historic core. Properties around Lansdown, the Upper Town and the Georgian set pieces of the Royal Crescent and the Circus attract some of the highest prices in the south west. Across the river, areas like Widcombe and Bathwick offer a different feel with a mix of period properties and more accessible price points. Oldfield Park and Twerton attract first-time buyers and investors looking for more affordable entry points into the Bath market, while villages like Bathampton, Batheaston and Saltford extend the market into genuine commuter territory.
That variety has a direct impact on how a mortgage lender assesses a property.
Listed buildings are extremely common in Bath, and category one and two listed properties come with specific lender requirements around insurance, construction and alterations. Georgian terraces and period flats can raise questions around lease length, factoring arrangements and building condition. Some converted properties in the city raise questions around permitted development and planning consent. Newer developments on the city’s outskirts are generally more straightforward but Bath’s geography means truly modern stock is limited.
Prices in Bath are among the highest in the south west and have risen significantly over the past decade. One-bedroom flats typically start from around £250,000, while family homes in popular areas commonly sit between £500,000 and £900,000. Prime Georgian properties can go considerably higher. At those levels, income multiples and deposit size become central to every conversation. Many mortgage lenders cap borrowing at around 4.5 times income, although some will stretch further for the right profile.
Bath’s rail link into London Paddington in under 90 minutes, its thriving cultural scene and its reputation as one of the most liveable cities in the UK continue to drive strong and consistent demand from buyers across the country.
Knowing Bath helps. Knowing which mortgage lender will accept the property and the borrowing structure is what really makes the difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay a fee for mortgage advice in Bath?
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.
Can you help with listed buildings in Bath?
Yes, though these need careful handling. Listed buildings in Bath, whether category one or two, can raise questions with mortgage lenders around construction, insurance requirements and any alterations that have been made to the property. Some lenders are more comfortable with listed properties than others. We check which lenders are likely to be comfortable before submitting anything, which avoids delays and unnecessary declines.
Can you help with short lease properties in Bath?
Yes. Short leases are a common issue in Bath given the prevalence of converted period properties and older leasehold flats. Once a lease falls below around 85 years, lender choice narrows considerably. We check which mortgage lenders are comfortable with the lease length before submitting anything so you're not caught out at a critical point in the purchase process.
Can you help first-time buyers in Bath?
Yes. Bath can be a challenging market for first-time buyers given the price levels, but there are still accessible entry points in areas like Oldfield Park and Twerton. We explain what's realistic in terms of deposit, borrowing and lender criteria and handle the full mortgage application from start to finish.
Do I need to use a mortgage broker based in Bath?
No. You don't need a local broker to get good mortgage advice in Bath. We're based in Portsmouth but help buyers and homeowners across Somerset 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.

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 rural or non-standard elements common in Somerset. 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 Bath
Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in England and one of the most complex when it comes to mortgage applications. Listed buildings, Georgian terraces, leasehold flats, converted properties and a World Heritage Site designation all combine to create a market where lender knowledge and preparation matter considerably more than in most UK cities.
We work with buyers and homeowners across Bath, placing mortgage applications with lenders whose criteria genuinely fit both the property and the income involved. A listed Georgian flat near the Royal Crescent, a modern apartment in Oldfield Park and a family home in Bathampton are three very different conversations with potentially very different lenders.
We’re a family-run mortgage broker, not a call centre. You deal with a real adviser throughout, someone who takes the time to understand your situation and the specific property involved before working out which lender is most likely to say yes.
We also think ahead. Bath property holds its value exceptionally well, but 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. In a city like Bath, it’s about knowing which lender will be comfortable with the property before you find out the hard way that they won’t.
