London’s market snapshot

According to a recent City AM report, property buyers in London may still be paying an average of over £500,000, but the market mood is shifting. Savvy buyers are driving harder bargains, and for anyone considering a purchase, 2026 could represent a genuine window of opportunity.

Rightmove supports this outlook, pointing to improving buyer affordability as average wages continue to grow faster than house prices increase. The result is a buyer’s market in the making and one with a good choice of homes, stronger negotiating power, and conditions that particularly favour first-time buyers stepping onto the housing ladder.
The combination of more stock, more leverage, and improving affordability makes this one of the more favourable moments London buyers have seen in some time.

For those in need of a mortgage loan, Bennison Brown is here to help. Contact us online today or call the office on 0207 427 6067, and let’s find you the best deal for your individual circumstances.

First-time buyer mortgage services

Getting your foot on the property ladder is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. But we recognise that the mortgage market is full of jargon, confusing paperwork, a whole lot of acronyms, and decisions that feel immense when you’re new to the process.

Our first-time buyer specialists will sit down with you, explain everything in plain English, and help you understand exactly how much you can borrow before you even start viewing properties.

Once we’ve worked with you to understand what you can afford and what your monthly mortgage repayments might be, we’ll help you obtain an application in principle (AIP), and we’ll walk you through what government schemes are available if you choose to go down that route. Most importantly, we’ll explore the best mortgage rates available across the entire market and handle your application from start to finish.

We’re with you from that very first conversation, right through to completion and getting those keys in your hand!

Here’s what one of our clients had to say:

We had excellent service from Alex and later Bobbie, who brokered our mortgage for our first home. Alex was very on the ball and knowledgeable, able to explain our options clearly to us and answer all questions. Both Alex and Bobbie were responsive, friendly and professional at all times. We will be strongly recommending Bennison Brown to friends and family!

Remortgage services

For clients with a mortgage deal that’s coming to the end of its fixed rate, or if it’s already rolled onto your lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), now is the time to act.
Staying on an SVR can cost you significantly more than necessary each month, and often homeowners don’t realise how much they could save simply by switching.

Our remortgage service is fast, straightforward, and entirely tailored to your circumstances. We’ll search the whole of the mortgage market to find the most competitive deal available, handle all the paperwork, and keep you updated every step of the way. Whether you’re looking to reduce your monthly repayments, release equity, or consolidate debt, we’ll find a solution that works for you.

Customer service is at the heart of our business, and we’re proud to see clients return at the point of remortgaging:

I have been advised by Bennison Brown for many years, both for taking out new mortgages and product switches – the level of service has been excellent and best of class. Michael takes care to ensure a customers circumstances and requirements are carefully taken into account before sourcing and recommending appropriate products. We will always seek out Bennison Brown as our advisor, highly recommended!

Buy-to-let mortgage advice for London landlords and property investors

London’s property investment landscape is uniquely complex. Between tighter rental yield calculations, higher stamp duty on additional properties, evolving landlord regulations, and the growing popularity of limited company buy-to-let structures, getting the right buy-to-let mortgage is about far more than just finding a low rate.

Our buy-to-let specialist advisors have deep knowledge of London’s property investment market and understand the nuances that can catch many landlords out. Whether you’re purchasing your first investment property, expanding an existing portfolio, or restructuring your holdings for tax efficiency, our London mortgage advisors can help find the right financing strategy for your goals.

Our close working relationships with leading specialist lenders who understand complex income structures, portfolio landlords, rental income, and HMO properties see us provide access to options that simply aren’t available on the high street.
If you’re interested in these specialist products, contact us to arrange a consultation call.


Mortgage advice for specialist mortgages

In addition to providing mortgage advice to first-time buyers, remortgagers, and buy-to-let investors, we are also experts at advising clients with non-standard income structures. For example, self-employed individuals, contractors, or healthcare professionals receiving a PAYE income and bonuses, self-employed income, or a combination of all.

These types of mortgage applications are often rather complicated for you to carry out alone, which is precisely why having an expert broker in your corner matters most. If you’ve been turned down by a high-street lender or if your financial position doesn’t fit the standard mould, we can help.

If you’re seeking a contractor or freelancer mortgage, a large loan for a high-value property, or you have adverse credit history, we’ll explore every available avenue and give you a clear picture of your options.

I was sceptical about using a broker as we can easily find online instant quotes. However, the process is unnecessarily complicated and getting a mortgage is not the easiest thing to do, especially if you're unaware of what factors lenders might consider in the process… I'm happy to attest on the quality of the services as without them I'm not so sure I'd be able to get a property.
