Independent Mortgage Broker in Cornwall
Honest advice, zero jargon, and a lovely mortgage broker right here in Cornwall. Whether you’re moving to Camborne, buying a holiday let in St Ives, or buying your first home in Truro, we help you find your way home (without the headache).
Mortgage Advice That Actually Makes Sense
Buying a home in Cornwall is a dream for many. But the mortgage process? Er, well, not so much. That can feel a bit like navigating country lanes in the dark—stressful and confusing.
That’s where we come in. At Delta Mortgages, we’re the antidote to stiff banks and confusing comparison sites. You speak to a human (say hello to Maddie), and we search the whole market to find the deal that fits your life, not just a spreadsheet.
We are also very lucky to be right in the heart of the community. The lovely estate agents at Millerson have kindly let us base ourselves inside their Camborne office—meaning you can get independent advice in a friendly, familiar setting.
Maddie Trewhella, our dedicated Cornwall mortgage broker, works directly from this office—offering face-to-face, independent mortgage advice right where you already feel at home.

More Than Just "Standard" Mortgages in Cornwall
Most people think mortgage brokers just help with buying a house. We do that, but we also handle the complex, the commercial, and the coastal stuff.
Buying & Living (Residential)
Getting on the ladder in Cornwall can be tough with high local prices. We help you find the most cost-effective route to your keys.
First Time Buyer Mortgages
Navigating house deposits can be tricky here. Our mortgage adviser in Cornwall explains "decisions in principle" and helps you compete with cash buyers.
Moving Home
If you’re relocating to the Cornish coast or trading a cottage for a family home, we manage the chain to keep your move stress-free. We know. We’re lovely!
Remortgaging
Don't let your fixed rate mortgage expire. We scan the market to stop you from rolling onto expensive standard variable rates.
Shared Ownership
Vital for many Cornish buyers. Our mortgage brokers can guide you through part-buy, part-rent mortgages to get you on the ladder sooner.
Investment & Business Finance
For landlords, investors, and holiday home buyers in Cornwall.
Holiday Let Mortgages
If you’re buying a holiday cottage or Airbnb in Cornwall, a standard Buy-to-Let mortgage won't work here. We access specialist lenders who accept holiday rental income.
From accidental landlords to portfolio investors, our mortgage brokers can help make the most of your investment in the local rental market.
Whether it’s a ground-up build or renovating an older property, we can help find the funding to get spades in the ground.
Fast, short-term lending to secure a property at auction or bridge a gap.
Complex Income & Specialist Mortgage Advice
The high street banks often say "no" to non-standard income. Our mortgage brokers know the lenders who say "yes."
Do you run a seasonal business or freelance in the creative sector? Well, we know how to package your accounts to maximise your borrowing.
Whether you are an agency nurse, a remote IT worker, or on a fixed-term contract, our mortgage advisers find lenders who understand your income structure.
Do you want to buy a new home but keep your current property as a rental investment? We can arrange the simultaneous financing to make it happen.
Protecting What Matters
It’s not just about the bricks; it’s about the lifestyle you are building here.
Protection & Insurance
We make sure you have the right Life Insurance and Critical Illness Cover so that if the worst happens, your family and your home are safe.

Mortgages in Cornwall: What’s Different Here?
Every property market has its quirks. Here is what you need to look out for in Cornwall:
1
Unique & Non-Standard Construction
Some Cornish homes have unique features—from historic cob cottages to "Mundic" block or concrete construction. These require specialist checks. We know which lenders are happy with non-standard construction and will guide you through the process so you don't waste money on surveys for unmortgageable properties.
2
Holiday Lets & Second Homes
Cornwall is the UK's hotspot for holiday homes. If you are looking to buy a property to rent out to holidaymakers (Airbnb/Vrbo), you need a specific Holiday Let Mortgage. We have access to specialist lenders who understand the seasonality of Cornish tourism income.
3
Local Income & Affordability
We know that many people in Cornwall have multiple income streams—perhaps a main job plus some seasonal tourism work. While computer algorithms at big banks might reject this, our lovely mortgage brokers can present your "whole story" to lenders to help you borrow what you can truly afford.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pop in to see your mortgage brokers in Cornwall?
Yes! The team at Millerson Estate Agents in Camborne have been kind enough to give Maddie a desk in their office. You can pop in for a chat, but it’s always best to book an appointment first so we can make sure the kettle is on.
Do I need to buy a property through Millerson to use your mortgage brokers?
Not at all. We are incredibly grateful to Millerson for hosting us, but we are a completely independent company. We can help you with a mortgage for any property, regardless of which estate agent is selling it.
Do you charge a mortgage broker fee?
We offer a fee-free initial chat to get to know you and see how we can help. If you choose to proceed with us, we do charge a broker fee for the research, application, and management—this will always be explained clearly upfront so there are no surprises. You can also head over to our Mortgage Broker Fees Explained for more details (we’re proper transparent, like)
Can you help with Shared Ownership Mortgages?
Absolutely. Shared Ownership mortgages are a fantastic way to get on the property ladder in Cornwall if high house prices are a barrier. We can walk you through exactly how it works and find lenders who support the scheme.
Your property could be at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage, or any debt secured on it.
