Mortgage Brokers
Stockport
Your whole-of-market mortgage broker for Stockport homebuyers, landlords and businesses
Residential Mortgages
A residential mortgage is a loan secured against a home you live in or plan to live in. You put down a deposit, borrow the rest, and repay it with interest over an agreed term.
Stockport first-time buyers pay an average of £264,000, so a 10% deposit means saving around £26,400, and at that price first-time buyers pay no stamp duty. Whether you're buying your first home in Edgeley, moving up the ladder in Bramhall or remortgaging when your fixed rate ends, our Wilmslow advisors, around 20 minutes away, search the whole market and guide you through to completion.
Buy-to-let Mortgages
A buy-to-let mortgage is a loan secured against a property you let to tenants. Stockport rents averaged £1,119 a month in August 2026, up 5.4% in a year, and the town's fast rail links into Manchester keep demand from tenants strong.
Buy to let is one of our specialisms at MFB. We work with first-time landlords, limited company buyers, portfolio landlords and HMO investors, and we know which lenders suit each.
Commercial Mortgages
If you're buying or refinancing business premises or a commercial investment in Stockport, from town-centre shops and offices to industrial units around the M60, you'll need a commercial mortgage. Lending criteria vary widely with the property and the business.
Our commercial mortgage brokers have long-standing relationships with commercial lenders on and off the high street, and we'll take your case to the most suitable lenders to find the right deal for you.
Bridging Finance
Bridging finance is short-term funding for time-sensitive property deals: auction purchases, breaking a chain, or refurbishing a property before refinancing onto a standard mortgage.
We help Stockport landlords, developers, businesses and homeowners weigh up the costs, timescale and exit plan before approaching lenders.
