About Xchange Mortgages


Xchange Mortgages Ltd was founded in 2006 by Matthew Kelly and James Howell and together they have over 30 years' of experience in the Mortgage and Protection industry. Both Matt and James have a passion for helping people by saving them time and money. They are both highly experienced advisors and have in-depth knowledge of the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire area.

At Xchange Mortgages, our overriding objective for our clients is to find you a mortgage that allows you to buy or remortgage your home in the most appropriate way. A way that’s affordable to you now, next year, the year after and so on. More than that, we want to ensure that your home is yours to keep no matter what happens to you in the future.

We give a fair, friendly and focused service which forms the cornerstone of our offering.

We do not work on behalf of any lender or protection provider. We are independent of them, we work for YOU and solely you, with the aim of getting you an appropriate mortgage and protection package that fits with your current needs, circumstances and goals.

The expert advice we offer, combined with the volume of mortgages that we arrange, places us in a very strong position to ensure that our customers have access to the latest deals available and that they receive a first-class service.

Whatever you are looking to do, we will find the right solution and take care of the entire process. We don’t just stop there though, we will continue to advise and service your mortgage and protection requirements throughout the lifetime of our professional relationship together.

YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

We search 1,000s of mortgage deals to find the right one for our customers' circumstances and needs. Some of these schemes cannot be found on the high street and are exclusive to us. You’ll get advice that you can understand and trust, completely jargon-free.

We cover all aspects of property-related lending and have a wealth of knowledge in the following areas:

  • First Time Buyers
  • Remortgages
  • Product Transfers
  • Homemovers
  • Buy-to-Let
  • Equity Release*
  • Retirement Interest Only
  • Holiday Lets
  • New Build
  • Self-Build
  • Self-Employed and Contractors
  • Flexible Offsets
  • Affordable Housing Schemes
  • Bridging Finance* and many more
  • *For these services, we will refer you to a specialised adviser.

Some bridging finance and most buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Finacial Conduct Authority

A lifetime mortgage is not suitable for everyone and may affect your entitlement to means tested benefits, so it is important to seek financial advice before taking any action. If you are considering releasing equity from your home, you should consider all options available before equity release. The interest that may be accrued over the long term with a Lifetime Mortgage, may mean it is not the cheapest solution. As interest is charged on both the original loan and the interest that has been added, the amount you owe will increase over time, reducing the equity left in your home and the value of any inheritance, potentially to nothing. Although the final decision is yours, you are encouraged to discuss your plans with your family and beneficiaries, as a Lifetime Mortgage could have an impact on any potential inheritance. We would also encourage you to invite them to join any meetings with your Financial Adviser so they can ask questions and join in the decision, as we believe it is better to discuss your decision with them before you go ahead. This is a referral service.

On the protection side we cover:

  • Life and Critical Illness
  • Family Protection
  • Income Protection
  • Accident Protection
  • Accident & Sickness Cover
  • Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
  • Funeral Cover
  • Sports Injury Protection
  • Buildings and Contents Insurance
  • Landlords Insurance

We are based in both Oakwood and Belper and offer home visits but we can also visit you virtually in the comfort of your own home, via video call or telephone appointment, so there are no postcode boundaries to whom we can help.

Our Mortgage and Protection advisors offer fee-free, initial, no-obligation consultations and they will give you the quality expert advice you need at a time when you need it most.
