I'm Anita Staley, an independent mortgage adviser based in Edenfield, right on the northern edge of Greater Manchester. I work with clients across Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Salford and Manchester itself, and I know the local property market because I work in it every day.
Greater Manchester is ten boroughs with very different housing: Victorian terraces in Bolton and Rochdale, family semis in Bury and Prestwich, new-build estates on the edges of most towns, and thousands of city-centre apartments in Manchester and Salford. Each brings its own lending quirks, and that's where a broker earns their fee.
How I help Greater Manchester buyers and homeowners
- First-time buyers — working out what you can borrow, which lenders suit your deposit, and how to get from offer to keys without surprises.
- Remortgaging — reviewing your options three to six months before your fixed rate ends, so you don't drift onto your lender's standard variable rate.
- Home movers — porting your existing mortgage or finding a better deal, and keeping the chain moving.
- Buy-to-let — from first rental properties to portfolio landlords, including limited company purchases.
- Holiday homes — mortgages for second homes and holiday lets.
Why use a local, independent adviser?
As a whole-of-market broker I search products from 90+ lenders, including deals you can't get by going direct to a bank. Being local helps too: I know which lenders are comfortable with older stone-built properties in the Pennine towns, which take a cautious line on high-rise city-centre flats, and which surveyors and solicitors work across the area.
You can meet me by phone, by video call, or in person — whichever suits you. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
