With so many firms urging you to shop around for the best deals on everything from Home Insurance to Holidays  we’re surprised that more home buyers don’t shop around for their Mortgages!

Thornley Groves’ preferred Mortgage Broker has just saved some clients of ours literally thousands of pounds – money they can now spend on buying things for their New Home!

Having already received an ‘agreement in principal` from a certain lender with an X in their name the client felt having got a commitment from one of the largest lenders there was no point in looking elsewhere as there would be nothing to choose between the deals on offer from the major players.

However Mortgage Broker, Chris Collins, had other ideas. With the ‘whole of market` at his finger tips Chris was able to compare this couples five year fixed rate deal to other products from almost every lender taking into account not just the rate but what exactly was on offer including any incentives. Chris quickly honed in on a deal that presented the clients with a two thousand pound saving, in addition the survey fee was paid for by the lender, there was no arrangement fee and the interest rate was lower !

Chris has lots of other satisfied clients, which is why we’re so happy to recomend him,  if you need a mortgage because your thinking of buying your first home, moving to a new home or staying where you are but want to re mortgage give Chris a call now on 0161 905 0207 or email him  chris@direct2mortgages.co.uk.

Now let us sell your Property !

There are clear signs of real activity in the Manchester City Centre property Market we listed a great 2 bed apartment in the MM2 development in Manchesters vibrant Northern Quarter and agreed a sale within a week for a figure close to the asking price!

With the news media focussing on repossessions and how sluggish the property market is, it’s refreshing to see that real people – owner occupiers – are able to sell their properties in the current market, and guess what, the buyers are also real people, not buy to let investors but individuals who are buying to own and occupy in the city centre.

There is no denying that prices have dropped from their peak in August 2007 but the market and prices have stabilised and we are now registering more buyers on our database looking to buy, own and occupy than at any time in the last 18 months, buyers know that prices have become more much more realistic and the great mortgage deals that are out there mean that buying a place in the city centre has never been more affordable.

The sale this week of the MM2 apartment in the Northern Quarter highlights the fact that if you have a property you want to sell in the city centre and are willing to be realistic on price, Thornley Groves have the buyers ready willing and able to buy!
