Connect Mortgages: UK Mortgage Brokers for Property Finance Looking for clear mortgage advice before you buy, move, remortgage or invest? Connect Mortgages helps UK clients speak with mortgage advisers across residential mortgages, buy-to-let, commercial finance and protection. Whether your plans are simple or more complex, the right adviser can help you understand your options before you apply.
Buying a home can raise many questions.
How much could you borrow? Which lenders may consider your income? What deposit may you need? What happens if you are self-employed or have credit issues?
Connect Mortgages can help you explore residential mortgage options for home buying, moving and remortgaging.
This includes support for:
Read about residential mortgages
First-time buyer mortgage advice
Remortgage advice
Buy-to-let lending is often assessed differently from a standard residential mortgage.
Lenders may consider rental income, deposit size, landlord experience, property type and ownership structure. Limited company buy-to-let cases may also need extra care.
Connect Mortgages can help landlords and property investors review their finance options.
This may include:
Explore buy-to-let mortgage advice
Portfolio landlord mortgages
Limited company buy-to-let mortgages
Commercial finance can support business owners, landlords and investors.
You may be buying premises, refinancing a commercial property or funding a semi-commercial building. You may also need short-term finance while a longer-term plan is arranged.
Connect Mortgages can help with:
Read about commercial mortgage advice
Explore bridging finance
Explore development finance
If you’re just beginning your mortgage journey, use our calculators to find out how much you could potentially borrow! This is the perfect way to get started.
Some people want an adviser who understands their local area.
Others want an adviser with a specific mortgage skill, language or communication style. Both can matter when you are making a major financial decision.
Connect Mortgages works alongside Connect Experts, a UK adviser directory. You can search by location, language, gender and mortgage type.
This can help you find someone suited to your needs before you make contact.
Search mortgage advisers by location, language and mortgage type
Connect Experts is a mortgage adviser directory and matching platform. It does not provide mortgage advice directly. Advice is provided by the adviser or firm you choose.
Your high street bank probably has some great deals, but as a mortgage broker, Connect has access to many more options, which equals more choice and the right deal for YOU!
Established in 1998 and currently employing over 300 mortgage advisers, Connect has gone from strength to strength and helps thousands of clients a year.
At Connect Mortgages, our clients are our priority and we take pride in delivering top-notch services and we value feedback.

Rummana has been exceptional in every respect. We bought a house recently and her support from start to finish was exemplary. As a mortgage advisor and broker, Rummana was so knowledgeable and skilled. She ensured that we get the best mortgage deal available in the market. Rummana was thorough, patient, skilled and was able to get the deals tailor made for our situation. What makes her approach remarkable is her personal relationship and investment with her clients. She was available for discussions and advice in the evenings and weekends. She always found time for discussions. Thanks Rummana. You helped us like a family member or a friend. I will highly recommend Rummana as a mortgage advisor due to 5 star ⭐ support throughout the process, from start to finish.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend Ahmad Zahid highly enough. During what was an incredibly stressful time applying for my remortgage, Ahmad made the entire process feel smooth, straightforward, and completely manageable from start to finish. His professionalism, polite manner, and genuine willingness to help immediately stood out. Unlike other mortgage brokers I had dealt with previously — who often seemed pushy, uninterested, or focused on selling a particular mortgage product — Ahmad took the time to truly understand my situation and find the best solution for me. At no point did I feel pressured, and his honest, customer-focused approach gave me complete confidence throughout the process. Ahmad’s knowledge of the mortgage market is exceptional. He clearly explained every option available to me, answered every question with patience, and ensured I fully understood each stage of the remortgage process. His expertise and attention to detail ultimately secured me a far better rate than I expected. What really sets Ahmad apart is his dedication and availability. He was always approachable, responsive, and willing to take my calls even outside of normal working hours, which provided huge reassurance during such an important financial decision. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for him. Ahmad is a true asset to your organisation and delivers a level of customer service that is genuinely rare to find. His professionalism, market knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine care for his clients are second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend Ahmad Zahid to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and highly skilled mortgage broker, and I will absolutely be using his services again in the future.

From the very beginning of the remortgage process, Ms. Poorna was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She found me an excellent mortgage deal with a lender that perfectly suited my needs, saving me both time and money. What really stood out was her outstanding communication. She responded to my emails and messages extremely quickly, often outside of normal working hours, and was always available to answer questions and provide reassurance. The entire process was completed exactly within the timescales she had outlined at the start, making what could have been a stressful experience smooth and straightforward. I am extremely grateful for all her help and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for a mortgage or remortgagePosted on Google![]()

Connect Mortgages and especially Poorna provided and absolutely outstanding service throughout my mortgage journey. From the beginning,I was more focused on Poorna's professionalism and dedication than even the company itself, because her work and commitment were truly exceptional. My mortgage application was in a very difficult situation, and after several lenders were unwilling to approve it, I had almost lost hope. However, Poorna handled everything with remarkable confidence, expertise and determination and she successfully made it happen. Her knowledge of the mortgage industry is exceptional, and she clearly understands exactly what she is doing. What stood out most was the confidence and reassurance she gave me through out the entire process. She remained professional, approachable and supportive at every stage. Making an extremely stressful situation feel manageable. I placed complete trust in her guidance and she delivered beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend Poorna highly enough. She is highly knowledgeable, professional, friendly and genuinely dedicated and achieving the best outcome for her clients. She truly deserves continued success and recognition in both her career and personal life.
