About Mayflower.

Mayflower is a specialist mortgage and finance brokerage focused on self-build, renovation, development, and non-standard property projects. We work alongside brokers to bring structure and specialist insight to cases that sit outside mainstream lending. Our role is to support confident advice, careful decision-making, and positive outcomes for brokers and their clients alike.

Your new specialist support.

Lending for construction projects requires a unique approach to assessing risk, costs, structuring cash flow, setting expectations and understanding the legislative frameworks that apply to property developments. In self-build, renovation, and development projects, early decisions regarding construction, costs, and funding can significantly impact a project's viability. Don’t give your client the wrong answers!  

Partnering with a specialist can ensure that decisions are guided by real-world experience. This helps to reduce uncertainty, enhance the quality of advice, and facilitate smoother progress for your clients
