Independent mortgage advice for straightforward and complex circumstances in Slough
At Simmonds Mortgage Services, we support homebuyers, homeowners and landlords across Slough. We start by listening to what you want to achieve, then explain the mortgage options that could work for you. Our office is in Wokingham, and you can arrange an initial conversation by phone.
Your plans might involve a first purchase or a new deal on your existing home. You may be self-employed, own a limited company or have been told your application is too complicated. We are comfortable looking at the detail and will be honest about what may be possible.
Many clients first approach us for a purchase and return when they move, remortgage or buy an investment property. Other brokers also refer clients to us when a case needs specialist attention. That ongoing relationship matters to us, whether your next step is straightforward or takes more work.

Understanding the Slough property market
Slough’s location in Berkshire appeals to buyers who want access to London while looking for a home outside the capital. Your search might take you from town-centre flats and terraces to family homes in Langley, Cippenham or Upton.
The town centre is also changing. The Slough Central redevelopment plans include up to 1,600 homes on the Queensmere site, alongside shops, community spaces and pedestrian routes.
As of September 2026, Rightmove reports an average sold price of £429,289 in Slough over the previous year. Prices differ substantially by property type, so a town-wide average is only a starting point for your search.
Before you start viewing, we can help you explore your mortgage options and what your budget might allow. If your income comes from a business or several different sources, we’ll look at the full picture and explain what information a lender may need.
How we can help with your mortgage in Slough
We advise on everyday purchases and remortgages as well as applications involving less conventional income, property or borrowing needs.
Buying your first home
There is plenty to think about when you buy your first home. Whether you are considering an apartment near Slough station or a family home in Langley, we’ll explain the mortgage process in plain English. We can help you understand your borrowing options, prepare for an agreement in principle and work through the application when you find a property.
Moving home in or around Slough
Families grow, jobs change and sometimes you simply need more room. If you are moving home within Slough or relocating to the area, we’ll review your existing mortgage and your plans for the next property. We can explore whether taking your current deal with you is possible, or whether a new mortgage would be more suitable, including any relevant fees and early repayment charges.
Remortgaging your property
If your current deal is approaching its end, it is worth discussing your next steps before that date arrives. Our remortgage advice considers your circumstances and the overall cost of a deal, including fees. You may also want to discuss borrowing for home improvements or changes to your mortgage term. We’ll explain the options and any costs of leaving your existing agreement.
Buy to let mortgages for Slough landlords
Buying your first rental property brings different questions from expanding an established portfolio. We provide buy to let mortgage advice based on the property and your plans as a landlord. We also handle more involved applications, including HMO mortgages and borrowing through a limited company. Tell us about the property and how you intend to let it, and we’ll explore the lending options with you.
Equity release and later life borrowing
If you want to use some of the value in your home during retirement, it is important to understand the longer-term consequences. Our equity release advice covers lifetime mortgages, their costs and risks, and alternatives that may suit you. Equity release can reduce the value of your estate and will not be appropriate for everyone.
Specialist help when your application needs a closer look
Perhaps your earnings vary, you take a salary and dividends from your company, or your work is contract-based. We help with self-employed mortgages and contractor mortgages, taking time to understand how you earn and how your circumstances can be presented to a lender.
Our specialist mortgage advice also covers foreign income, unusual property plans and more complicated borrowing arrangements. If past credit problems have affected your options, tell us what happened. We can investigate the available routes and explain the limits, without promising an approval before your circumstances have been assessed.
Protection for you and your family
A mortgage is a long-term commitment. We can also discuss insurance and protection to help you plan for illness, loss of income or death. This includes life assurance, critical illness cover and income protection. We’ll explain what the cover does and the exclusions you need to understand.
Our mortgage advice in practice
Our case studies show how we approach applications that need more detailed work. In one case, a self-employed couple nearing retirement needed to repay their home loan while keeping their rental property. We combined specialist buy to let refinancing with a lifetime mortgage so they could retain both properties.
You can also read about arranging an HMO conversion alongside another property purchase. These examples explain our approach. The options available to you will depend on your own circumstances.
