Award-Winning Mortgage Advice Across Essex & The UK

At A Little Mortgage Advice, we are proud to provide award-winning mortgage guidance across Essex and the UK. Based in Benfleet, we believe that mortgage advice should be clear, straightforward and tailored to your individual circumstances.

We regularly support first-time buyers, remortgage clients and those with adverse or bad credit, including applicants with defaults and County Court Judgements (CCJs). Every lender applies different criteria, and understanding which lenders are most suited to your situation can make a significant difference.

As independent mortgage advisors, we carefully assess your circumstances before recommending lenders whose criteria align with your needs - helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Advice About Mortgages

As independent mortgage advisors based in Essex, we provide specialist guidance across a wide range of mortgage situations. With access to lenders from across the whole market - including specialist lenders - we help match your circumstances to lenders whose criteria best suit you.

Whether you are a first time buyer, moving home, looking to remortgage with bad credit, understanding your realistic options before applying is essential. We regularly support clients across Essex and the UK who are seeking a more competitive rate, looking to consolidate debt, or concerned about their credit profile.

We are particularly experienced in helping clients with bad credit mortgages, including those with defaults or County Court Judgements (CCJs). We also assist with bad credit remortgages, debt consolidation mortgages, and self employed income mortgages, ensuring your application is presented to lenders most likely to consider your circumstances.

Our approach is straightforward: we assess your full situation before recommending a suitable route forward, giving you clarity and confidence from the outset.

How does it work?

Three steps, one adviser, no pressure at any point.

  1. Start your journey

    Complete the short online questionnaire - or just call. Angela will come back to you to talk through your circumstances properly, not from a script.

  2. Ready to apply

    Once the right product is found and you're happy, the paperwork is handled for you - and you'll never be left wondering what's happening.

  3. Completion

    Keys, rate, done. Time to relax - and when it's time to remortgage, you'll be talking to the same person who got you here.

And remember - there's no pressure to proceed. You'll only ever be recommended a mortgage that's genuinely right for your circumstances, when you're ready.

How Mortgage Brokers Find The Best Interest Rate Mortgage

Little by name.

Big on advice.

A Little Mortgage Advice was started by Angela Little to make mortgage advice simple - hence the name. Before going out on her own, Angela spent her career at the UK's two largest specialist mortgage brokerages, ranked among the top brokers at both.

At big firms, when her clients came back to remortgage, they'd be passed to a retention team and never speak to her again. Angela hated that. She wanted to be there for the whole mortgage life - especially for clients rebuilding their credit, so that when they finally qualified for a high-street rate, she could be the one to tell them.

That's the business she built: one adviser who knows your name, your file, and your plan - from the first phone call to the day you own the place outright.

"Making the dream happen is the best part of this job."- Angela Little, Founder & Senior Mortgage Adviser

Does Working with a Mortgage Advisor Increase Your Chances of Approval?

Working with an experienced mortgage advisor can improve your chances of approval because your application is matched to lenders whose criteria align with your circumstances.

Rather than applying blindly to high street lenders, we assess your income, deposit, credit profile and long-term plans before recommending suitable options. This helps reduce unnecessary declines and protects your credit record.

Through regular communication with lenders and underwriters, we understand how applications are assessed and what documentation is required. Presenting your case clearly and accurately from the outset can make a significant difference to the outcome.

What would it actually cost?

Move the sliders for a rough monthly figure. It's a starting point for the conversation - not a quote, and not the number a lender will land on.

Roughly, per month

Capital and interest, so the balance clears by the end of the term.

Illustration only. This is a standard repayment or interest-only calculation, not a quote, an offer, or mortgage advice. On interest only, none of the capital is repaid - the full amount borrowed is still owed at the end of the term and you need a credible plan to repay it. It ignores fees, product changes and lender criteria - and what a lender will actually offer depends on your income, credit history and circumstances.
