We recognise that both we and our customers have everything to gain if we look after your best interests and treat you fairly in all aspects of our dealings with you.

Our Commitment to you

We will:

  • provide you with clear information about the products and services we offer, including fees and charges
  • ascertain your individual needs, preferences and circumstances before recommending a mortgage
  • only recommend a mortgage that we consider suitable for you and that you can afford – and always the most suitable from the available options
  • not recommend a mortgage if we can’t find one we consider suitable
  • encourage you to ask if there’s something you don’t understand
  • give you access to a formal complaints procedure should you become unhappy with our service

How you can help us

To help us give you the most appropriate advice, we will ask you to:

  • tell us as much as possible about your income and outgoings, to enable us to properly assess how much you can afford
  • let us know about changes that might affect your ability to repay a mortgage
  • let us know if there is any aspect of our service, or of a product we have discussed or recommended that you don’t understand
  • tell us if you think there are ways we can improve our service

Thank you for choosing Dartmoor Financial.

Low income doesn’t always mean no options.One of the features of a lifetime mortgage is that there is no income assessment and no traditional affordability-based credit scoring.That means it can sometimes be worth considering for older homeowners who have property equity but whose monthly income would make other forms of borrowing difficult.It won’t be right for everyone, and suitability will depend on your circumstances, your property and the lender’s criteria.The important bit is to start with advice, not assumptions.We advise clients across the UK by Zoom, phone and online, with face-to-face support where someone’s needs make that more appropriate.Expert advice without the stuffiness.A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home. It may reduce the value of your estate and may affect means-tested benefits. Fees may apply. This is not personal advice. ... See MoreSee Less

Another lovely later life lending outcome today. 😊I've finalised an application with Canada Life for a lifetime mortgage which will help a chap move house to be closer to his son.He couldn't quite make the numbers work without it.Yes, the solution is expensive and will have an impact on his finances and eventual estate. But there's a bigger picture here too.If Dad needs more help as he gets older, what is the cost — financially, practically and emotionally — if his boys can't easily get to him?This move gets him closer to family. ❤️Everyone involved. Everyone aware. Everyone in agreement. 🤝That's what good later life advice should be about: understanding the whole situation, considering the alternatives and helping people make an informed decision that's right for them.Now… excuse the casual attire. I'm off for my Conqueror Event run! 🏃‍♂️😂#SocialSeptember #LaterLifeLending #LifetimeMortgage #EquityRelease #LaterLifeFinance #DartmoorFinancialA lifetime mortgage is a form of equity release. It will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits. Interest may roll up over time. Equity release is not suitable for everyone and alternatives should be considered. Advice is required. ... See MoreSee Less

From his daughter’s sofa to a home of his own 🏡Day 4 of #SocialSeptember, and this is exactly why I keep banging the drum about the good that later life lending can do.We were introduced to a gentleman in his 70s who, following a divorce, was facing the prospect of sleeping on his daughter’s sofa long term.Thanks to a referral from Plymouth Mortgage Hub, we were able to explore his options and, with the help of LiveMore, arrange a lifetime mortgage that enabled him to buy a new home of his own.That’s not just a mortgage.That’s independence. Security. And somewhere to call home again. ❤️Later life lending isn’t right for everybody, but when it is right, the outcome can be genuinely life-changing.That’s the good stuff.#SocialSeptember #LaterLifeLending #LifetimeMortgage #EquityRelease #MortgageAdvice #PositiveOutcomesLifetime mortgages are a form of equity release.
