What “fee-free” actually means
You pay us nothing for the advice, the mortgage application or any of the work in between.
The fact that the mortgage lender pays us has no bearing on the rate or deal we recommend. Our job is to find you the right mortgage. That’s what we’re paid to do.
No advice fee. No application fee. No fee on completion. We’re paid by the lender and we’re FCA regulated, so the advice is held to the highest professional standards.
Where to Buy in the West Midlands
The question we hear most from buyers looking county-wide is not about one town. It is which one. The honest answer depends on your budget, your deposit and what you need the mortgage to do.
The city and its suburbs. Birmingham averages £233,000 (ONS, May 2026), with first-time buyers paying around £211,000. The Victorian suburbs from Kings Heath to Erdington offer terraces at accessible prices, while city centre apartments suit buyers who want to walk to work, though flat values eased 3.5% over the year, which favours negotiation.
The Black Country. Wolverhampton (£212,000), Walsall (£215,000) and Dudley (£230,000, and rising fastest in the county at 4.2%) are where money goes furthest. First-time buyer averages sit around £200,000, deposits are within reach years earlier than in the south, and gross yields around 7% make this the county’s investment heartland.
The premium end. Solihull averages £330,000, and with Sutton Coldfield it carries the county’s strongest school catchments. Budgets stretch further into enhanced income multiples here, and larger deposits change which lenders compete for your case.
Coventry and the east. A market with its own rhythm, driven by two universities and some of the county’s newest housing stock, from city centre schemes to the growing estates on its edges.
Where you buy changes which lenders will say yes. A £20,000 deposit goes a long way in Dudley but nowhere near Dorridge, a rental property that passes every lender’s checks in Walsall can fail them in Solihull, and a city centre flat in Birmingham raises questions a Wolverhampton terrace never will. We work all of this out with you before any application goes in.

Why full-market access matters in the West Midlands
We compare around 14,000 mortgage products from more than 99 mortgage lenders, including high street banks and specialist lenders. The West Midlands has a property mix all of its own: Victorian terraces in Birmingham’s suburbs, canal-side city centre apartments, 1930s semis across the Black Country and new estates built on former industrial land, and lenders assess each of them differently.
It’s not just about finding a rate. It’s about placing your mortgage with the right lender first time.

Mortgage Expertise in West Midlands
From solid-wall Victorian terraces in Walsall to apartments above the Bullring and premium family homes in Knowle and Dorridge, the West Midlands asks more questions of a mortgage application than most regions. Shift-based and overtime-heavy incomes, self-employment across the trades, ex-council stock and sub-£150,000 investment properties all need the right lender rather than the nearest one.
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 handle cases across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Solihull, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell and beyond, all with no broker fee.

What you can expect from YesCanDo Money
Access to the wider mortgage market
We work with high street banks as well as specialist lenders that only accept applications through brokers. Some deals simply aren’t available if you go directly to a bank.
Clear, straightforward advice
We tell you upfront how a lender is likely to view your mortgage application and what’s genuinely achievable. No jargon, no vague answers and no surprises down the line.
We handle the paperwork
We chase the mortgage lender, deal with queries and coordinate with the valuer and your solicitor so things keep moving without it landing back on you.
Matching you with the right lender
We identify where your case fits before submitting anything. Self-employed earnings, contractor rates, bonus income and commission can all affect which lenders say yes.
Updates as things progress
You’ll never be left wondering where things stand. We contact you when decisions are made and flag anything that needs your attention straight away.
Flexible appointments
Phone, online meeting or WhatsApp, whatever suits you best. Most clients never need to meet us in person and the advice is exactly the same either way.
What our clients say
With 1,600+ five-star reviews on Trustpilot, we’re ranked among the top 10 mortgage brokers in the UK. That comes from taking every case seriously and making sure every client feels looked after from the first conversation right through to completion.
Our West Midlands mortgage services
First-time Buyer Mortgages
Buying your first home in the West Midlands means choosing between city centre apartments, new build estates and traditional terraces, each viewed differently by lenders. We handle the mortgage side from start to finish, including shared ownership and first home schemes.
Remortgage Services
If your deal is ending or you want to check you’re on the right rate, we search across 99+ lenders and handle everything. It costs nothing to find out if you can do better.
Moving Home Mortgages
Moving home across the West Midlands can mean stepping from a terrace to a semi in Solihull or Sutton Coldfield that lenders assess on quite different terms. Whether porting (transferring your current mortgage to your new home) or getting a new deal, we compare both options and manage everything through to offer.
Buy-to-let Mortgages
The West Midlands rental market is one of the strongest in the UK, driven by several universities, major employers and some of the best yields in the country. Rental income calculations and lender criteria need to be right from the start.
Bad Credit Mortgages
A missed payment or an old default doesn’t close the door on a mortgage. We work with a specialist adverse credit broker that matches the case to lenders who assess the full picture rather than just a credit score.
Mortgage Protection Services
A mortgage is a long term commitment. We advise on life cover, critical illness cover and income protection so that if something unexpected happens, your home isn’t left exposed.
Local mortgage advice about the West Midlands
The West Midlands is the UK’s second-largest urban economy, and for buyers it offers something increasingly rare: genuinely affordable homes in places with strong employment, deep transport links and real long-term investment.
Birmingham anchors the county, with New Street connecting to London in under 90 minutes and the HS2 terminus at Curzon Street under construction. The tram network links the city to Wolverhampton and West Bromwich, and Solihull sits minutes from Birmingham Airport and the NEC. Employment runs deep, from Jaguar Land Rover at Solihull to the NHS trusts, the universities and a fast-growing professional services sector in the city core. Green space is closer than outsiders expect: Sutton Park is one of Europe’s largest urban parks, and the Clent Hills sit just beyond the Black Country’s edge.
The honest catch is that the county is not one market. Solihull and Sutton Coldfield trade at a significant premium, city centre flats have been soft, with Birmingham flat values down 3.5% in the year to May 2026 (ONS), and the cheapest terraces can sit below some lenders’ minimum value floors. Prices in the county still average £248,000 against a UK figure of £271,000, which is why demand from first-time buyers and investors keeps building. Knowing which lender fits which street is where local advice earns its keep.
Frequently asked questions
How much can I borrow for a home in the West Midlands?
Most lenders offer around 4.5x your income. On £45,000 a year, that’s roughly £202,500, and with a 10% deposit a budget of about £225,000.
The average West Midlands home costs £248,000, and first-time buyers in Birmingham pay around £211,000 (ONS, 2026), so typical incomes go a long way here. Some lenders stretch to 5x income, and we always check.
Is the West Midlands a good area for buy-to-let?
Yes, one of the best in the UK. Rents are rising 4.2% a year, and prices in Dudley, Walsall and parts of Birmingham are low enough for gross yields around 7%.
Rental stress tests that fail investors in the south usually pass easily here. The main things to watch are lender minimum property values on the cheapest homes, and first-time landlord criteria.
What schemes can help first-time buyers in the West Midlands?
I'm self-employed. Can I still get a mortgage?
Yes. Most lenders want two to three years of accounts, and some accept just one if your income is strong.
We arrange self-employed mortgages every week, and we match your setup, whether sole trader, limited company or contractor, to the lender that assesses your income most generously.
Does it cost anything to get mortgage advice from YesCanDo Money?
No, nothing. The lender pays us when your mortgage completes, and we never charge you on top.
That applies to every case we handle across the county, from first-time buyers in Birmingham to landlords in the Black Country.
Ready to start your mortgage process?
A short call to understand your situation and goals — income, deposit, the property and anything that might affect lender choice. From there we give you a clear picture of what’s realistic.
We search across the market, including lenders you can’t reach directly. Once you’re happy with the recommendation, we secure the rate, arrange an agreement in principle and submit the full application.
When the lender is satisfied, they issue the formal offer. We stay involved right through to completion, and if a better rate appears before then we’ll look at whether switching makes sense.
Book a callback at a time that suits
No charge for the initial discussion — we’ll explain the options before anything moves forward.
