Established in 2013, Lakes Mortgages is an independent mortgage broker in Cumbria, but with clients as far away as Kent! Lakes Mortgages have quickly established a reputation for a proactive approach and a personal service delivered to first time buyers, existing homeowners, landlords and those seeking Equity Release. The proof lies in the our fantastic testimonials and happy customers who return time and time again for our advice.

From our office in Sandside, Milnthorpe, we are proud to have helped hundreds of people in the surrounding area. However, we're definitely not your average mortgage brokers, we're very relaxed but work hard to provide a friendly, personal service that proves applying for a mortgage doesn't need to be boring.
