Your Local Mortgage Broker in Derby

Looking for an experienced mortgage broker in Derby? Mortgage Force provides independent, whole-of-market mortgage advice to first-time buyers, home movers, homeowners, landlords and property investors throughout Derby and the surrounding Midlands.

Derby is where Mortgage Force began more than 25 years ago and remains the home of our Head Office today. As the original base of the business, Derby continues to play a central role in Mortgage Force, housing our Business Support, Compliance and Accounts teams as well as several experienced Mortgage and Protection advisers.

Our long-standing presence in the city means we combine the resources and experience of a national mortgage network with the personal service and local knowledge you would expect from a Derby mortgage broker.

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving house, remortgaging an existing property, purchasing a Buy to Let investment or dealing with more complex circumstances, our advisers can help you understand your options and find a mortgage suited to your individual needs.

Independent Mortgage Advice in Derby

Our experienced mortgage advisers in Derby have access to mortgage products from across the market and can compare hundreds of lenders, rates and mortgage schemes on your behalf.

Rather than approaching individual lenders yourself, we take the time to understand your circumstances, including your income, deposit, existing commitments, property plans and longer-term objectives. We can then identify lenders whose criteria and products are most suitable for you.

This can save a considerable amount of time and make the mortgage process easier to understand, while also helping you avoid applying to lenders whose criteria may not fit your circumstances.

From your initial enquiry through to application, mortgage offer and completion, our advisers are available to guide you through each stage and deal with the lender on your behalf.

Mortgage Advice for First Time Buyers in Derby

Buying your first home is exciting, but understanding deposits, affordability, mortgage rates and lender criteria can quickly become confusing.

As an experienced first time buyer mortgage broker in Derby, Mortgage Force can help you understand how much you may be able to borrow, what deposit you may need and which lenders could be appropriate for your circumstances.

We regularly help first-time buyers with a wide range of situations, including smaller deposits, self-employed income, multiple income sources and more complicated credit histories.

We can also explain the different stages of the home-buying process so you know what to expect, from getting an initial indication of your borrowing potential through to submitting your mortgage application and receiving your formal mortgage offer.

Remortgage Advice in Derby

If your current mortgage deal is approaching its end, it can be worth reviewing your options before automatically moving onto your lender’s standard variable rate.

Our Derby mortgage advisers can compare remortgage products from across the market and help you decide whether staying with your existing lender or moving to a new lender is likely to be more suitable.

Buy to Let Mortgage Broker in Derby

Derby and the wider Midlands have a well-established rental market, and we work with both new and experienced landlords looking for Buy to Let mortgages in Derby.

Whether you’re purchasing your first rental property, refinancing an existing Buy to Let or adding to an established portfolio, our advisers can compare lenders and products based on your circumstances and investment plans.

Buy to Let lending can involve different affordability calculations, rental coverage requirements and lender criteria compared with residential mortgages. Having an experienced adviser handle the process can therefore be particularly valuable.

Local Derby Mortgage Advisers

Although many mortgage appointments can now be handled conveniently by telephone, Zoom or Microsoft Teams, having access to a local mortgage adviser can still be important.

Because we have advisers based in Derby and the surrounding Midlands, face-to-face appointments can be arranged where appropriate and preferred.

Some customers value being able to sit down with an adviser when making a major financial decision, particularly when their circumstances are more complex or they simply prefer discussing their options in person.

Whether you choose a face-to-face meeting, telephone appointment or video consultation, you’ll receive the same clear, personalised mortgage advice.

Why Choose Mortgage Force Derby?

Mortgage Force has been helping customers with mortgages for more than 25 years, and Derby remains at the heart of the business.

Our advisers provide straightforward, impartial mortgage advice and take the time to explain your options clearly rather than simply presenting you with a mortgage product.

With access to lenders from across the market, support throughout the application process and the choice of telephone, video or face-to-face appointments, we aim to make arranging your mortgage as straightforward as possible.

Absolutely recommend Mortgage Force Jan 2026

Michelle has always been extremely helpful with my mortgage. I recently renewed this at short notice and Michelle jumped on the task straight away and found me the best deal, giving me multiple options. I would absolutely recommend Mortgage Force.

Definitely recommend Michelle Feb 2026

Michelle was fantastic in helping to arrange my mortgage and I am so grateful for her help. She was highly knowledgeable in suggesting the most suitable products for me and went above and beyond when we encountered complications during the valuation process. Chloe Dallas was also excellent in keeping me updated with the process in Michelle’s absence. I am really grateful for the help received from them both and I will definitely recommend Michelle and mortgage force to family and friends.

Keep up the good work. Nov 2025

I have used MF for 20 years initially with David Plant, and for the last 3/4 years with Michelle Barraclough. Great service, and most importantly a personal approach from advisors (and a business) that I can trust. Keep up the good work.

Simply outstanding 19 June 2023

Rachel and Jo at Mortgage Force were outstanding start to finish. They went above and beyond with everything they did, helping us to purchase our first home. We've been told many times how stressful buying a house is but with Mortgage Force it felt like a breeze! Rachel was informative and broke everything down so that we fully understood all of the house buying lingo and both Jo and Rachel were friendly, helpful, super quick to respond to any queries and just a pleasure to deal with.
