How we work with Peterborough buyers
No high-street office, just a trusted mortgage broker in Peterborough.
Looking for a mortgage broker in Peterborough? We'll be straight with you: City Mortgage Solutions Group doesn't have an office in the city centre. What we do have is a whole-of-market advice team who work with Peterborough buyers every week, by phone, video and email, around your schedule.
The mortgage market is national, so the lenders and rates open to you are exactly the same as any local broker can access. What matters is the quality of the advice and knowing your market, and that works just as well over a video call.

The advisers you'll work with
A dedicated team for your Peterborough move
You won't be passed around a call centre. You'll be matched to one of our experienced advisers and stay with them from first call to completion.
Tracy looks after home movers and remortgages, timing your switch and keeping longer chains on track through to completion.
Ganga helps buyers and remortgagers find a genuinely better deal, and is known for quick, clear answers whenever you need one.
Chris specialises in buy-to-let and HMO portfolios, comfortable with the more complex landlord cases.
Every adviser is CeMAP-qualified and advises across the whole of the market by phone and video.

Local knowledge that matters
Buying in Peterborough: what we see in your market
From new-build estates to period terraces, with fast trains into London, here's the local picture we factor into your advice.
Stamp Duty (SDLT)
We'll estimate your Stamp Duty Land Tax, including first-time-buyer relief and the surcharge on second homes, as part of your total costs before you offer.
New build at Hampton & beyond
Peterborough has significant new-build development, especially around Hampton. New build carries its own lender criteria, and we match you to one that fits.
First-time-buyer value
Peterborough offers strong value against London and Cambridge, which keeps the first-time-buyer market busy.

Why use a broker
