When it comes to choosing a mortgage provider, we understand that you might have a few questions. Here are the ones we get asked the most.

Good news for first-time buyers

Santander has launched a new 98% loan-to-value mortgage exclusively for first-time buyers — opening the door for those who may have been struggling to save a large deposit.

🔹 Five-year fixed rate at 5.19%
🔹 Minimum deposit: 2% or £10,000 (whichever is higher)
🔹 No product fee
🔹 £250 cashback
🔹 Maximum loan £500,000
🔹 Terms available from 5 to 40 years

This option is available on second-hand properties only and is subject to lender criteria, affordability checks and eligibility.

If you’re wondering:
✔ whether you qualify
✔ how much you could realistically borrow
✔ or how to get yourself “mortgage-ready” before house hunting

That’s where proper advice matters.

We’ll assess your circumstances, talk through the risks as well as the benefits, and help you decide whether this type of mortgage is right for you — or whether another option suits you better.

📩 Get in touch for tailored advice before making any decisions.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

“Great hair today.”
Which is an especially generous compliment here… considering some of us are working with enthusiasm rather than volume.

Nice smile. Great shoes. Lovely sentiment.
But the compliment that really matters?

When you recommend us to your friends or family.

That’s trust. That’s you putting your name next to ours and we don’t take that lightly.

Ever.

We’ll look after the people you send our way like they’re our own

Good news worth shouting about

When fixed rates start to come down, it’s not about chasing headlines — it’s about making sure the right people benefit at the right time.

If you’re buying, remortgaging, or already partway through an application, even small rate changes can make a meaningful difference over the long term.

This is exactly why ongoing review and management matters. We keep an eye on the market so you don’t have to — and if something improves before completion, we’ll check whether it’s worth switching.

No panic. No knee-jerk decisions.
Just calm, informed advice when opportunities appear.

If your mortgage plans are on the horizon, it’s always worth a conversation.

Your mortgage isn’t a game of cards

If your fixed rate is coming to an end, doing nothing is a choice… just not a great one. Ending up on your lender’s standard variable rate can be an expensive surprise, and nobody likes those.

The smart move?
Plan ahead. Review your options. Lock something in that actually works for you.

We’ll do the searching, the explaining and the timing — no guesswork, no crossed fingers

If your deal is ending in the next 6–9 months, now’s the time to talk.

26/01/2026

The best compliment you can give us?
Telling the people you care about.

Recommendations like this mean everything, because you don’t pass a name on lightly to friends or colleagues.

It says “I trust them”… and that’s something we never take for granted.

Thank you for trusting Sphere, and for spreading the word. We’ll always look after the people you send our way like they’re family.

Not all advice is equal.
Not because people don’t care, but because really understanding someone’s life, worries, priorities and budget takes time, skill… and actually listening.

So often we hear:
“I thought I didn’t understand insurance.”
When the truth is, it just wasn’t explained for them.

At Sphere, our job isn’t to throw information at people and hope it makes sense.
It’s to translate, personalise, and make sure every recommendation actually makes sense to your heart AND your head,

Understanding people first.
Then matching the advice to their world.
That’s the skill we’re proud of. And we’ll never apologise for taking the time to do it properly.

If you’ve ever felt like “this just isn’t for me” chances are, it wasn’t explained with you in mind.
We’re here to change that!
