About Us

Who we are and what we do

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

We are specialist property finance brokers, independent of all lenders, who are focused on helping you get the mortgage you need.

You need mortgage finance and we know the lenders that can help.

A flexible approach to property finance.

Drake Mortgages is an experienced company of specialist independent mortgage brokers and property finance brokers based in Kent. Our advice is mainly conducted online, by email and over the telephone.

We specialise in providing clients with comprehensive mortgage advice from the full range of lenders available to us. We are an independent mortgage advisor, as such we can deal with all lenders and mortgage companies.

While we help many clients to move house, including first time buyers, we have specialists available to help with bridging loans including auction finance.

All of our advisers hold the required qualifications to give specialist mortgage advice to our clients. Our senior mortgage advisers all each have a minimum of 20 years experience of advising clients on their mortgage and financial matters. We may charge a fee for arranging your mortgage. A fee of up to £850 may be charged depending on individual circumstances. A typical fee is £495. We do not charge advice fees for arranging life cover or critical illness cover.
