Mortgage & Protection Advice with a Personal Touch

Work with us online, or meet us in St Albans, Hertfordshire or London.

Your mortgage is a loan secured against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up payments on your mortgage or on any other debt secured against it. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some forms of Buy to Lets.

WELCOME

To the Martel Family

I founded Martel to bring ten years of London market experience home to Hertfordshire and create the kind of brokerage I would want my own family to use: personal, honest, and built around the people we look after.

When you become a Martel client, we want you to feel part of the family. Whether you're buying your first home, growing a property portfolio, or protecting the people and things that matter most, you'll have one broker who knows your situation and stays with you from first conversation to completion.

Get in touch with us by calling on 01727 309 160 (M-F, 9am-6pm) or submitting our online form. When you call, you'll speak to a real person, based in the UK. They'll take your details and your broker will get back to you directly.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Clear Mortgage Advice in St Albans

Securing a mortgage does not have to be a stressful process. We are here to answer your questions and guide you through every stage of your purchase.

How does using a St Albans mortgage broker differ from going straight to a bank?

High-street banks can only offer you their own range of products. We provide mortgage advice in St Albans offering a wide range of lenders, including High Street, specialist lenders, and private banks to find the right fit for your circumstances.

How does your London experience benefit home buyers in Hertfordshire?

Managing complex transactions in the City for ten years means we know how to structure complicated applications successfully. We bring that high-level expertise home to help local families secure properties in competitive commuter-town markets.

Can you arrange mortgages for clients with self-employed or complex incomes?

Yes, we frequently work with business owners and professionals who have non-standard income structures. We present your full financial profile directly to specialist underwriters who look beyond traditional high-street affordability calculators.
