Seafarers Mortgage
Contact Form

This page is for seafarers, yacht crew, offshore workers and maritime professionals ready to discuss a UK mortgage. Whether you are buying your first property, remortgaging or arranging buy-to-let finance, submitting an enquiry here connects you directly with a specialist broker experienced in offshore and maritime income structures. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

For a free initial consultation, call 01202 155992 or contact Mortgage One.

What the Initial Consultation Covers

The first conversation is a practical discussion to assess your position and identify the right route forward. It is not a formal application. It typically covers:

•       Your employment type, rotation pattern and employer details

•       Income structure including base pay, allowances, overtime and currency

•       Residency and tax position

•       The type of mortgage you need, whether purchase, remortgage or buy-to-let

•       Deposit or equity available

•       Any credit or documentation considerations

If your case involves seafarers mortgages or other specialist income structures, the consultation will focus on how to present your profile clearly to lenders. Lender criteria, affordability models and product availability vary and can change, so the initial discussion is about understanding where you stand before any formal steps are taken.

What to Have Ready Before Your Consultation

You do not need a full document pack at this stage, but having the following to hand can make the first conversation more productive:

•       A recent payslip or income summary

•       Details of your current employer and contract type

•       An idea of the property value, purchase price or remortgage balance

•       Your deposit amount or current equity position

•       A recent credit report, which you can download your credit report through the link on this site

If you are claiming or considering seafarers earnings deduction, it helps to mention this early so the income and tax picture can be discussed together. Mortgage One does not provide tax advice, so if your tax position is complex you should also speak to a qualified accountant.
