TaylorMade Finance

TaylorMade Finance, mortgage advice in Manchester

TaylorMade Finance is a mortgage advisory firm based in Manchester with access to more than 100 lenders and over 20,000 mortgage products. The company presents itself as a whole-of-market broker, which according to its own description allows it to search across all available lenders rather than being limited to the offers of a single bank or a tied broker.

Its proposition is built on a free, no-obligation comparison that, according to the website, can be completed in around 60 seconds using details such as property value, outstanding balance, current interest rate and remaining term. The firm states that the most competitive rate available at the time of the scan was 4.61%, updated on 14 September 2026, and that the overall cost for comparison is 6.1% APR. It also notes that the rates shown are initial interest rates only and that the adviser provides a full illustration including the APR and all associated costs.

Products and client profiles served

The service catalogue covers both residential transactions and situations requiring specialist handling:

• Remortgage: improving your current rate or releasing equity.
• Debt consolidation: combining several payments into one lower monthly payment.
• House purchase: support from offer through to completion.
• First-time buyer: guidance for those buying their first home.
• Buy to let: financing for investors looking to expand their portfolio.
• Adverse credit: complex cases with poor credit history.
• Capital raise: releasing equity for home improvements or other costs.
• Second home: financing a second property or holiday home.
• Divorce mortgages: buying out a partner's share, removing a name from the mortgage or arranging a new mortgage after separation.
• Home improvements: funding renovations without moving home.
• Self-employed: mortgages for self-employed workers.

How we work

The firm describes a four-step process: the client outlines their needs via a form or calculator; the team compares offers from more than 100 lenders; it handles the application, documentation and completion; and finally the client receives the agreed terms. TaylorMade Finance states that most remortgages complete in around 21 days and that it does not charge upfront advice fees.

The company maintains that it is not tied to any specific lender and works for the client, which according to its presentation allows it to recommend the product that best fits each situation rather than steering towards options with high commissions. Compared with banks, which only show their own products, and comparison sites without access to exclusive rates, the firm positions itself as an intermediary with access to deals that do not appear on comparison sites.

Personal service and continuity

The service is delivered by named advisers with CeMAP qualifications. The website details profiles such as Jack Gallagher, specialising in self-employed clients and complex income structures, with eight years of experience and coverage in Stockport and Cheshire; Richard Morton, with 25 years of experience assisting first-time buyers in central Manchester; and Declan Reburn, with 15 years of experience specialising in buy to let and investors, covering Macclesfield and south Manchester. The firm states that the adviser stays with the client throughout the life of the loan, regularly reviewing the terms to ensure they remain on the best available rate.

The team also includes administration, compliance, customer service, telemarketing and finance and operations management roles. The company states it is regulated by the FCA with full authorisation.

The website identifies coverage areas such as Greater Manchester, Manchester city centre, South Manchester, Urmston and Trafford, Piccadilly and postcodes SK1 to SK4. In Piccadilly and Manchester city centre it offers face-to-face appointments, and in South Manchester it has a local office and offers home visits.
