Local insights
What buyers ask
about Harrow.
Harrow has a varied housing market, from detached homes in Stanmore and Pinner to flats in Wealdstone and modern apartments in Harrow town centre.
It is well connected. The Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways run from Harrow-on-the-Hill, with London Marylebone around 15 minutes away, and the Piccadilly line serves South Harrow and Rayners Lane.
First-time buyers often start in South Harrow, Wealdstone, Rayners Lane and parts of West Harrow, where there are purpose-built flats, maisonettes and Victorian conversions. Families tend to look at Pinner, Hatch End, Stanmore and Canons Park for larger homes on quieter streets, near schools such as Nower Hill High School, Bentley Wood High School and Pinner High School. We will talk through what your budget realistically reaches in each.
How a fee-free broker gets paid
Fee-free
mortgage broker.
No broker fee for most cases.
When we arrange a mortgage, the lender pays us a commission, like all mortgage brokers. Most brokers charge their clients a fee on top, typically from £495 up to 1% of the loan. We choose not to, for most cases.
We are a fee-free broker for most cases. Fees may apply on complex cases, including adverse credit, company buy-to-let, visa applicants and loans under £250,000, and will always be confirmed in writing before you commit.
Other mortgage costs to be aware of.
Please note that lender arrangement fees, valuation fees and legal costs may still apply to your mortgage. We will always explain the full cost of any mortgage we recommend before you apply.
Specialist situations
Not every case
is straightforward.
- Self-employed Sole trader or limited company, we’ll look at lenders who consider your kind of income.
- Company buy to let Including SPV structures. We’ll look at lenders who consider limited company applications.
- Remortgaging with bad credit We’ll look at lenders who consider adverse credit, and explain what it means for the rate.
- Mortgages on a visa We’ll look at lenders who consider applicants on a work visa or with limited UK residency.

Rates change and what you’re offered depends on your circumstances. Lender fees may apply; a broker fee only in the cases explained above. These examples are not an offer of credit.
APRC is the annual percentage rate of charge: the overall cost of the mortgage over its full term, including fees, shown as a yearly rate. Compare it alongside the initial rate and the fees.

Google “Excellent Support Throughout a Very Complex Remortgage I would highly recommend Mariana. My remortgage was far from straightforward and involved a number of unusual and complicated issues which took several months to resolve. Throughout the whole process, Mariana was patient, responsive and supportive. Even when things became difficult and time-sensitive, she continued to follow up and work with me until we finally reached the finishing line. I particularly appreciated that she stayed involved throughout such a long and challenging case rather than simply giving up when complications arose. Thank you, Mariana, for all your help, patience and support. Five stars and very well deserved.”

Harrow questions
The questions
we hear most.
Still unsure about something? Ask us directly. We answer questions all week, 9am to 9pm.
Is it worth using a mortgage broker?
A bank can only offer its own mortgages. A broker can compare options from across the market and explain which suit your circumstances and why. We look at 90+ lenders, handle the application and paperwork with you, and keep you updated through to completion. If your current lender's deal is the best fit, we'll say so.
Why use a local broker in Harrow instead of my bank?
Your bank can only recommend its own products. We compare mortgages from 90+ lenders and look at the fees, criteria and flexibility, not just the headline rate. Our mortgage advisors work with buyers and homeowners across Harrow, Pinner, Stanmore and Wealdstone, so we are used to the kinds of property here and the questions lenders ask about them.
Do you charge a fee?
When we arrange a mortgage, the lender pays us a commission, like all mortgage brokers. We are a fee-free broker for most cases. Fees may apply on complex cases, including adverse credit, company buy-to-let, visa applicants and loans under £250,000, and will always be confirmed in writing before you commit.
How much deposit do I need to buy in Harrow?
It depends on the property, your income and the lender. Many lenders ask for at least 5% to 10% of the purchase price, and a larger deposit usually opens up lower rates. Some cases need more: buy-to-let often needs around 25%. Whether it's a maisonette in Rayners Lane or a family home in Pinner, tell us your budget and we'll show you what different deposits would mean for you.
Can I get a mortgage on a work visa if I'm buying in Harrow?
It can be possible. We'll look at lenders who consider applicants on a work visa or with limited UK residency. Their criteria are usually stricter, for example a larger deposit or a minimum time left on your visa, and we'll explain what that means for the rate. A broker fee may apply on visa cases, and we confirm it in writing before you commit.
