Advocate Mortgage & Protection Ltd

About Us

Advocate Mortgage & Protection Ltd, a mortgage broker in Huntington. We stand for more than mortgages and numbers; we stand for people. Just as an advocate represents, supports and guides, our role is to champion your financial journey with clarity, confidence and care.

We see every client as an individual with their own goals, challenges and ambitions. Our responsibility is to speak for your best interests, ensuring your voice is heard in a marketplace that can often feel crowded, complex or overwhelming. Like a true advocate, we translate the jargon, remove the noise and present the options that genuinely serve your needs.

From your first conversation with us, you’ll find that we don’t simply arrange finance, we represent your aims. We negotiate on your behalf, protect your priorities and help shape the future you’re working toward.

How can we help?

Whether you’re purchasing your first residential property, expanding a rental portfolio, refinancing a commercial unit or protecting your family’s future, our advisers take the time to understand your circumstances and deliver personalised recommendations.

We work closely with a wide panel of lenders offering residential, commercial, buy-to-let and protection products, ensuring you receive competitive options that match your goals. Our focus is simple, straightforward advice, fast communication and financial solutions that help you move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re buying a home, building a portfolio or strengthening your financial security, we walk alongside you as a trusted partner, not just a service provider. Every recommendation we make is grounded in understanding, transparency and the belief that good advice should empower you. We’re here to stand in your corner, guide you through complex decisions and ensure you always feel supported. We champion your goals because being an advocate isn’t just our name, it’s our purpose.

Residential

Buying a home is one of the largest financial commitments many people will make. Advocate Mortgages offers support across a range of residential mortgage needs, including first-time buyer mortgages, home mover mortgages, remortgages and more complex residential cases.

Our advisers assess your circumstances and explain the options available. This includes comparing products from a range of lenders, reviewing affordability, and outlining the differences between fixed and variable interest rates. We guide you through each stage of the application process, from initial enquiry to completion.

If you are self-employed, have multiple income sources, or have experienced previous credit issues, we will discuss how these factors may affect your application. Where suitable, we will identify lenders whose criteria align with your circumstances and explain any associated risks or considerations. Our role is to provide clear information so you can make an informed decision based on your financial objectives and long-term plans.

Commercial

Advocate Mortgage and Protection Ltd provides advice and arrangement services for commercial mortgages to business owners, property investors and developers. Whether you are purchasing an office, warehouse, retail unit or mixed-use property, we help you explore suitable commercial lending options to support your business objectives.

We can assist with owner-occupied commercial mortgages, investment properties, semi-commercial premises, short-lease units and refinancing where appropriate. This may include reviewing options to improve interest rates, restructure borrowing or raise capital, subject to lender criteria and affordability.

Commercial lending can be complex, and the criteria vary between lenders. We assess your circumstances, business structure and financial position before recommending a suitable product. All advice is provided in line with regulatory requirements, ensuring clear information, transparent costs and fair treatment throughout the process.

Buy to Let

Landlords and property investors can access a wide range of buy-to-let mortgage products through Advocate Mortgage and Protection Ltd. Options are available for individual applicants, portfolio landlords, and limited company structures, subject to lender criteria and eligibility.

Support is available for both new and experienced investors who are considering refinancing, remortgaging, restructuring an existing portfolio, or purchasing additional properties. Each case is assessed based on income, rental calculations, lender stress testing requirements, and overall affordability.

If you are planning for long-term rental income or aiming to improve yield, it is important to understand how lenders assess applications. This may include reviewing tax treatment, ownership structure, background portfolio performance, and property type.

Advisers can also provide guidance on more complex cases, including HMOs, multi-unit freeholds, holiday lets, and other specialist property types. All mortgage recommendations are subject to suitability, affordability, and lender approval.

Buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority unless the property is let to an immediate family member.

Protection

Property investment is not only about arranging finance. It is also about protecting your income, assets and long term financial stability. Before committing to a mortgage or expanding a portfolio, it is important to understand the potential risks and how they could affect you and your family.

Protection policies can help provide financial support if your circumstances change. Depending on your needs and eligibility, options may include:

  • Life insurance, which can help repay a mortgage or support dependents if you pass away
  • Income protection, which may provide a regular income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury
  • Critical illness cover, which can pay a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified serious condition
  • Landlord and rental protection products, which may help cover rental income loss or property-related risks

Connect Experts protection advisers provide clear information about these options so you can make informed decisions based on your individual circumstances. They will explain the features, benefits, limitations and costs of each policy, helping you consider what level of cover may be appropriate.

Protection policies are not compulsory unless required by a lender, and eligibility will depend on factors such as age, health and occupation. Careful review of your options can help you manage the financial risks associated with property ownership and borrowing, while ensuring any decision aligns with your broader financial plans.

Any recommendation will be based on suitability and affordability, in line with current lending criteria and regulatory requirements.

We aim to provide clear explanations and transparent information so you can make an informed decision. Our role is to outline the benefits, risks and costs of each option, helping you choose a mortgage or protection product that aligns with your circumstances and long-term plans.
