Services
Mortgage Advice
Go 2 Mortgages provides tailored mortgage advice covering first-time purchases, remortgaging, and buy-to-let investments. Our team accesses exclusive deals from specialist lenders to secure competitive rates. With transparent fee structures starting at 295, we guide clients through every step while coordinating with solicitors and insurers for comprehensive financial solutions.
Life Insurance
Our life insurance policies provide financial security for dependents through tax-free lump sums. Tailored options cover mortgages, debts, and future expenses with flexible terms. In-house experts Phil, Liam, and Aggie offer no-obligation quotes, ensuring policies align with individual family needs and budgetary constraints.
Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover offers lump sum payouts for diagnoses like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. Policies protect against financial strain from medical treatment costs or home adjustments. We provide children's coverage options and expert guidance to select appropriate levels of protection based on health history and family circumstances.
Income Protection
Income protection insurance replaces up to 65% of earnings if illness or injury prevents work. Policies pay out until retirement or return to employment, supplementing statutory sick pay. We tailor coverage to ensure mortgage payments and living expenses remain manageable during prolonged absences from work.
Buildings & Contents Insurance
Comprehensive buildings and contents insurance protects property structures and possessions against fire, theft, and accidental damage. Policies meet mortgage lender requirements while offering optional extras like home emergency cover. In-house specialist Laonie tailors packages for homeowners, renters, and landlords across the UK.
