The Voice of Hackney Community

“

Moved from renting near Broadway Market to owning a flat on Queensbridge Road. The broker helped us with a 5% deposit mortgage and we completed before our rental contract expired. Incredible timing.

I'm a freelance photographer based in Dalston and had been told I needed three years of accounts. Mortgage International found a lender who accepted two and I'm now the proud owner of a gorgeous Victorian conversion.
